Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Imperial Reserva was cropped from a very healthy year with good ripeness and balance, a powerful vintage with a 185-day vegetative cycle. They look for finesse, precision and power, a blend of Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha put through optical sorting and fermented in oak vats with yeasts selected from the Imperial vineyards and a 20-day maceration, then it matured in barrels, 70% French and the rest American, for 24 months. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.61. It feels very classical, with finesse and power, balanced and serious. It has tannins that call for food. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022.

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.

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.
