2017 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Imperial Reserva
8/15/2023 - jhrabideau Likes this wine: 92 Points
Very delicate aromatics of raspberry, rooiboos and rosehip.
Light and lifted on the palate, with raspberry and rooiboos tea the dominant flavors forward, picking up vanillin from the oaking regime mid-palate, along with nutmeg, fresh earth, and a saline character. Notes of marjoram and lavender aft. Quite delicate. Aftertaste echoes raspberry, with rosehip, Valencia orange, and a stony mineral character. Varietally slightly a typical, but quite pleasant and very delicate.

2018 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Cune Reserva
8/11/2023 - jhrabideau Likes this wine: 90 Points
Accessible on the nose, showing aromatics of underbrush, red fruit and balsamic character. Palate shows red fruit (cherry, raspberry) forward, with a twinge of orange peel acidity mid-palate, along with cinnamon and coffee aft. Some mushroom notes, along with balsamic character, on the finish. Not a powerhouse but quite pleasant--and at 9 Euro on the supermarket discount, a comfortable daily drinker.
