2001 Imperial, Gran Reserva, C.V.N.E., Rioja, Spain Bordeaux First Growth I’ve shared this with friendsMade from 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, and aged extensively in both French and American oak, the 2001 Imperial is all that one would expect from this great House in this great vintage.
