The silkiness and richness of a bit of flesh

2018 | CVNE Vinedos del Contino 'Contino' Gran Reserva | Rioja Domaine Menard Gaborit Ishikawa’s 17th century Kutani YakiThis dark garnet colored wine has a bouquet of purple plum, mocha and violet. It is slightly spicy on entry, with opening notes of clove, mint leaf and dark chocolate that are accompanied by flavors of blackberry and black cherry swaddled in a layer of plush tannins that drift into a lasting finish. 96 Pts Wine Enthusiast
