Rating: Robert Parker 94/100
“La Cueva de Contador 2008 is a 100% Tempranillo aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. This deep purple Rioja offers a nose of sandalwood, incense, Asian spices, lilac, espresso, and blackcurrant. Savory, ripe, delicately fruity, and complex, it will age well for 6 to 8 years and be at its best through 2028.” (The Wine Advocate, June 2011 – Robert Parker). A must-try!
