Parker über: Rioja CVNE Real de Asua Carromaza

-- Parker: I also tasted the 2021 Real de Asúa, which was already in bottle. 2021 was cooler, and the wine has a little less alcohol than the 2020 I tasted next to it. It comes from the same vines and the process was similar, but in this case, they didn't use any new barrels in the aging, which took place in 100% second-use barriques. This was very recently bottled and felt a little dizzy, with a slightly blurry nose, somehow creamy and with a more oxidative touch and a more solid palate, a little more exuberant and with abundant tannins that need time to get polished and/or powerful food. I might be getting it wrong, because the harvest was better than 2020. But today, the wine is still a bit of a question mark. Time will tell... 14,493 bottled produced. It was bottled in January 2024. 96/100

Suckling über: Rioja CVNE Real de Asua Carromaza

-- Suckling: Such an exuberant, floral nose with lots of berries, plums, dark cherries, ink and touches of dark minerals, mussels and spices. Quite pristine and naked, with a medium to full body and a mouthful of powerful, sensuous tannins. Great tension. A super-confident, single-vineyard wine without much adornment. Drink or hold.

Decanter über: Rioja CVNE Real de Asua Carromaza

-- Decanter: Seductive nose, detailed and perfumed, with a complex layering of wet stone freshness, subtle florality and herbal nuance. Crushed rose petals, minty tapenade, bramble and graphite mingle effortlessly. The palate echoes this filigreed arrangement , supported by a detailed scaffold of mineral tannins. Pure, intense flavours of mulberry, blackberry, black fig and black olive at the core, lined by hay, chamomile and gentle flintiness. Very persistent with a long tail of balsamic freshness.

Jane Anson über: Rioja CVNE Real de Asua Carromaza

-- Jane Anson: 2001 is widely recognised as an exceptional vintage in Rioja, and you feel it here unquestionably - no need to think too hard about it, this just makes you smile, and makes you want to share it with a friend. Silky liquorice, black cherry, spice, cloves, cedar, textbook Rioja, profoundly delicious, flavours are precise and well drawn out, with substance through the mid palate, plenty of tannins but easy to sink into. New French oak for malolactic and ageing.

Bodegas Contino

Die Bodegas Contino liegt in Laserna auf Schwemmland mit viel Kalkeinsprengseln und Kieseln nahe des Ebro, in einer Flussschleife unterhalb Laguardias in der Rioja Alavesa, der vom Terroir und Mikroklima klar besten Region der Rioja und damit Spaniens.
