We love this. Hits the palate like a wave of sunny, steely fruit. Tart, resonant, floral and super concentrated with beautifully minerals and expert use of oak. Exquisite wood spice, saltiness and length; the Viura and Garnacha Blanca are perfection in this style. Not austere at all but no question this will reward decades of cellaring. This would be a great value at twice the price.

Tough year as two years of drought, only 4,000 bottles produced.) Creamy peach, pear fruit but with lovely touches of marzipan, toasted almond flakes and lime cheese cake, jasmine, lemon oil and also something that reminds me of top quality cold press olive oil. In the mouth there is an oily richness with juicy ripe peach and persimmon but with plenty of bite to, apple skin length, good acidity despite pretty high alc. (13.5) this has a richness but also great freshness and is a wine that I personally love!

Contino gran reserva - 2016- single vineyard near the Ebro River. Dark ruby. Some translucency. On the nose, forest floor, dark berries, minerals. On the palate, red fruits, vanilla, and strong acidity still.
