"One of the finest performances of this wine in years, Contador 2012 presents a captivating nose of violet, lilac, blueberry, and black cherry, in perfect harmony, heralding sublime elegance. The palate is silky, with high-level tannins and texture, pure aromas, beautiful balance, and a power and elegance that leave you speechless. A rare combination. A true UFO. It has the balance, substance, acidity, and minerality to have a long life in the bottle, but it is difficult to resist its exuberant youth. (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)
