Wine bought to a retired wine distributor of Haro, La Rioja, in 2017. Stored in private cellar up to today. Bottle in outstanding condition: maximum filling level, cork, color, capsule, label, no leakage. Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for the next 20-30 years. 18.5/20 Jancis Robinson: "Very good. Warm, wet summer. Deep ruby with lots of evolution at the rim. Big leap of maturity from the 1985 and 1970 – but apparently the vintages weren’t that great. Lovely evolution on the nose. Sweet, briary, jewelly. Round and robust. Still very much alive and kicking. Excellent life and roundness. Still masses of acidity and tannin too!". 94/100 Robert Parker: "The 1970 Imperial Gran Reserva reveals a brick/garnet rim. The bouquet is lovely showing the results of extended cellaring. Exceptionally refined and ethereal, notes of cinnamon, dried fruits, and other spices lead to an elegant, savory, fully intact wine that is a pleasure to drink". *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier.
