Ficha de cata
Así lo catamos
Vista
Picota muy profunda con ribete granate-teja: concentración de viñas viejas suavizada por una década larga de botella.
Nariz
Pronunciada y en constante evolución en la copa: fruta confitada, tabaco, cedro, especias nobles y un fondo mineral. Es el buque insignia de Benjamín Romeo — la casa logró los 100 puntos de Wine Advocate en las añadas 2004 y 2005.
Boca
Seco, denso y aterciopelado: taninos totalmente integrados, cuerpo pleno y una acidez que lo mantiene fresco a pesar de su edad. Final interminable. 96 Parker y 97 Peñín para esta añada.
En resumen
Uno de los tintos míticos de la Rioja moderna, en una añada lista para beber. Para la gran ocasión: caza estofada, cordero lechal o simplemente una copa con calma.

Preparation and aging
Contador 2012 is a single-varietal Tempranillo grape. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, destemming takes place. Fermentation takes place in oak wood vats. Prior to this process, cold maceration is carried out for 4-5 days. Fermentations take place at a temperature of between 20-24ºC for 9 days. The aging of this wine lasts a total of 20 months and is produced in new French oak barrels.
Contador tasting note
- View: Contador 2012 is a blackberry red color with high intensity and brightness
- Nose: In addition to ripe red and black fruits, the balsamic character and aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary, lavender, fennel) stand out. It also shows a marked mineral character with a background of very fine and well integrated woods.
- Mouth: it is fine and powerful at the same time, as well as very voluminous. A great balance between fruit and oak stands out. Long and intense final aftertaste. Very ripe and tasty.
Pairing
Contador is perfect to accompany game meat, beef stews and Iberian ham.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 15ºC.
