Contador es una de las joyas de Rioja, bendecida por los míticos 100 puntos del equipo de cata del gurú Robert Parker Jr, durante dos añadas consecutivas: 2004 y 2005. Es obra de Benjamín Romeo, que ha conseguido mostrar el potencial de los vinos "de garaje" en una zona poco dada a las producciones pequeñas: Rioja. Contador es su tinto de alta gama y atesora un perfil muy singular, marcado por la riqueza de la fruta y una expresión de terruño muy poco habitual en Rioja. Un nuevo grande de España, para el Olimpo de los grandes tintos del mundo.

"I also tasted the 2017 Contador, which was very different from the 2016. This is showy, expressive, open and aromatic and seems to jump right out of the glass with decayed flowers, ripe wild berries and herbs. It's lush and round, even though the alcohol level is very similar to the 2016. It has a decadent nose that I remember from some vintages around the turn of the century, aromas that made us all think of a Burgundian expression of Tempranillo that we didn't know was possible. It has firm tannins, not as refined as those from the 2016 vintage. While approachable now, I'd wait a bit more to pull the cork. Considering the challenges of the 2017 vintage, this is a real triumph over the adverse conditions. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2019 after 20 months in new French oak barrels."
