Cune Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva 2016
KShs11,315 incl. of VAT
The 2016 Imperial Gran Reserva displays a brilliant garnet hue with a brick-red rim—an elegant nod to its maturity. On the nose, complex aromas unfold: ripe red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and spice box. The palate is polished and refined, with silky tannins, lively acidity, and evolving layers of dark berry fruit, leather, balsamic, and a whisper of vanilla. The finish is enduring, harmonious, and utterly classic.
This wine is ideal alongside roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, or a curated selection of aged Manchego.
