Cata de contino con Jesus Madrazo, tremendamente joven pero aun así muy elegante y sedoso, le falta tiempo para que todo se coloque en su sitio...

Oldest parcel of Contino surrounded by olive trees. Picturesque and delicious.

Super dense and very smoky, pipe tobacco, and cigar box, charred coffee along with very dense black and blue fruits on the stalk. In the mouth you find big but plush tannins that hang about on the gums, big black fruit but very tight at the mo, needs at least 5 more years.

17.5. Rich but not complex nose. Very full on palate, great fruit, sufficient acidity, no tannins. Quite delicious.

17.5. 2010. Deep ruby, complex nose, soft tannins, deep and rich fruit, good length. Too young, of course - my 2007 is just approaching maturity. But lovely.
