Notes: Robert Parker 98/100, RVF 18/20
“Contador 2008, which has quickly become one of the benchmark wines of Rioja, is composed of 86% Tempranillo and 14% Grenache and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. This purple-hued Rioja offers an exceptional bouquet of sandalwood, incense, lavender, espresso, tapenade, and blackcurrant. Dense and full-bodied, it beautifully combines elegance and power, making it a wine that will easily age for twenty years or more.” (The Wine Advocate June 2011 - Robert Parker)
