Bodegas Valdemar 2005 Conde de Valdemar Crianza (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Conde de Valdemar Crianza
Variety: Tempranillo Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Valdemar / Rioja

Quite ripe on the nose, such that raisin and sweetness are front and center. Saturated in the mouth, but as a whole it’s a bit flabby and, for the most part, it’s neither here nor there. Flavors of plum and berry tilt to the dark side, while the finish is short but inoffensive.
