Conde de Valdemar Reserva 2005

Rioja, Spain

A blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Mazuelo. On the nose is potent, with ripe fruit aromas, a good varietal expression and subtle toasty notes to fine and creamy oak. The palate is fleshy with a good volume of melted tannins, full-bodied and very persistent.

"It displays aromas and flavours of smoke, mineral, leather, spice box, and blackberry. This leads to a ripe, sweetly fruited, medium-bodied wine that can be enjoyed now through 2020." -Robert Parker
