Bodegas Valdemar 2007 Conde de Valdemar Reserva (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Northern Spain
Variety: Tempranillo Blend
Winery: Bodegas Valdemar / Conde de Valdemar Reserva

This is a textbook traditional Rioja, with dry spice, earth, light herbal notes and leather on the nose alongside cherry and plum scents. The palate is crisp, elegant and pure, with raspberry, vanilla, plum and leathery flavors. Modest complexity and elegance rise up on the finish. Drink through 2018.
