title: Contino 2011  Rioja
description: Bold oak on the nose places aromas of hickory and smoke atop sappy berry scents. A clampy tannic, high-energy palate is emboldened by penetrating acidity, while flavors of plum, berry, tomato and spice are lifted by that same acidity. This is still young, jagged and abrasive on the finish. Drink through 2028.
variety: Graciano
