Bodegas Contador (鐘樓) 由西班牙傳奇釀酒師Benjamin Romeo 一手打做。呢位天才同時係一個完美主義者, 所有釀酒過程都要參與, 甚至連軟木塞都自己親自渣車去揀軟木既樹。
旗艦酒Contador 2000年就得到Robert Parker的98高分肯定，而2004與2005兩年更蟬聯100分
呢支Carmen並非Bodegas Contador 既Core range 作品, 而係以佢母親為名, 用較新派手法去做
一支非常複雜, 充滿朱古力, Vanilla, coffee等桶味, 皮革等歲月熟成既味, 同時不失濃濃既果香同酸度去support成支酒

Wine Spectator vintage charts對Rioja 2007年既"Cool growing season; many light wines"
但呢支...絕對唔light, 可以放心去試
不過始終弱年 買完建議要飲了, 唔好擺太耐
