Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Imperial Reserva was produced with a blend of Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha grapes that were put through optical sorting and fermented in oak vats by vineyard, and the wine matured for 24 months in barrels, 70% French and the rest American. It has a shy nose that takes time to open up in the glass, but it is surprisingly harmonious and balanced and fresh for the year. It has a little more ripeness, but there's no excess at all; it has 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 5.44 grams of acidity. It has notes of spices, cigar box and ash, berries and wild herbs and a sleek and polished palate with resolved tannins. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.

Description
Cune Imperial Reserva is an internationally recognized red wine produced in the vineyards of Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España-CVNE in the D.O.Ca La Rioja.
It is a wine made especially with grapes of the varieties 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha. These grapes come from vineyards over 40 years old located in the areas of Villalba, Briones and Torremontalbo (Rioja Alta), in mainly clay-limestone soils.
Gastronomically, it is the ideal accompaniment for red meats and game.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and selected on arrival at the winery. During the first 24 hours it rests in a cold room.
Vinification is done in the traditional way in French oak vats, lengthening the macerations until the desired color and structure is achieved.
Malolactic fermentation and aging is done in French and American oak barrels where it will rest for 24 months. Subsequently, clarification is carried out with egg white, and aging continues in the bottle for another 24 months.
