Contador Benjamin Roméo - Rioja Predicador 2007

Rioja|Red wine

3.6/5 (5 customers)

Note: Guia Penin 92/100
"Dark cherry color. On the nose: mineral, fresh fruit, ripe fruit, mountain herbs. On the palate: fresh, flavorful, mineral" (Guia Penin). The touch of Benjamin Romeo, who imbues each of his vintages with subtlety and finesse. From Prédicador to Contador, every wine is worth a try, and as Robert Parker so aptly puts it: "They must be tasted to be believed." Once again, a wine not to be missed...
