2002 Bodegas Contador, Benjamin Romeo ‚Contador‘

What Romeo has achieved in the challenging 2002 vintage is impressive. The very limited production 2002 Contador (100% old vine Tempranillo) reveals great purity and texture as well as that nobility and stature found in all of the world’s most profound wines. I’ll keep my tasting notes short as there are fewer than twenty cases for the USA market. It possesses fabulous richness, full body, sweet tannin, and 10-16 years of longevity. It can be drunk now or cellared. The prices for these wonderful curiosities reflect their rarity as well as the high quality winemaking.
