1935 Vina Real Gran Reserva C.V.N.E

This 1935 was the last and surprisingly, the best bottle for me at a vertical tasting of Vina Real. We had more than twenty vintages to go through with friendly and openhearted winemaker Jesús Madrazo Mateo.
It was an impressive line up of wines that proved the great reputation of C.V.N.E. was well deserved. The overall quality was impressive, and the best vintages were 1949, 1962 and this harmonious 1...

Written Notes

This 1935 was the last and surprisingly, the best bottle for me at a vertical tasting of Vina Real. We had more than twenty vintages to go through with the friendly and openhearted winemaker, Jesús Madrazo Mateo. It was an impressive line up of wines that proved the great reputation of C.V.N.E. was well deserved. The overall quality was impressive, and the best vintages were 1949, 1962 and this harmonious 1935.
All the bottles came directly from Bodegas, and were in mint condition. Decanted 2 hours. Beautiful, dark, a bit old-looking colour. Sound, full, fragrant and distinctly floral bouquet. Very rich and powerful. Warm and smooth but not without acidity. It was a harmonious and round wine. Lasting, gentle finish on the tongue. I had a great time with this one!

Very good vintage with lots of alcohol. 13.3 % alcohol perhaps. Very dark crimson, mint toffees. Quite aggressive acid and furry tannins but far from dead. Very lively. Most impressive. ‘Old Lynch Bages’, said some, ‘Averys bottled Pomerol’, said Spurrier. Fantastic for the age!!!!
