Tempranillo (94%), Garnacha (3%), Viura (2%), Graciano (1%). Wine with a bright ruby colour, medium to high depth of colour. Intense aromas of ageing, cocoa, cigar box and orange peel, over the persistent background of black fruits typical of Tempranillo. Refined and silky on the palate, with soft yet powerful tannins. – Producer’s notes.
I think the 2010 Finca la Emperatriz Reserva could summarize what a textbook Rioja Reserva should be, combining the best of the traditional and modern styles. It’s mostly Tempranillo with 3% Garnacha, 2% Viura (white) and 1% Graciano
fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels (mostly American) for 23 months. It has the spicy, smoky notes with bright red fruit hinting on blood oranges and signs of developing more complexity and nuances. The medium-bodied palate features grainy tannins, good freshness and length. I see that I liked the 2008, and I think this continues the same line, perhaps fine-tuning the élevage could take this wine a step higher. Keep it up! 50,700 bottles. Another strong collection of wines from Finca a Emperatriz. A name on its way up.
