Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
CVNE — Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España — has been in Haro since 1879 and its Reserva is a benchmark for the traditional Rioja style: Tempranillo given at least three years before release, one in oak, in a register that favours savoury complexity over fruit weight. Red cherry and dried strawberry over leather, tobacco, sweet vanilla and dried herbs, medium-bodied with softened tannin and a long, earthy finish. Arrives ready to drink rather than asking to be cellared.
