2018 El Coto 'Coto de Imaz' Gran Reserva Rioja

Winemaker Notes: Brilliant ruby color, with russet tones. Mature and elegant, its aromatic richness is changing and subtle, becoming more apparent as the wine breathes. Notes of toast and coconut followed by tertiary aromas (leather, wet earth), and red fruit and dried fruit. Round, silky tannins, persistent and complex aftertaste.

Ideal accompaniment for roast suckling lamb, game, or red meat.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "Lovely aromatic nose, showing nuances of black berries, black pepper, lavender and wild herbs. Creamy vanilla on the palate."


James Suckling - "Overwhelming oak with vanilla essence, mint, blackberries, pine needles and truffles. Traditional and reserved on the palate, with plenty of oak tannins at the moment. But the freshness and acidity will keep it interesting in the future. Try from 2027."
