Pretty darn good value. Mulberry, black raspberry, cherry, a sundries tomato thing, tobacco leaf and some herb. Bit of dusty oak on the back palate as the fruit fades away. Super dry on day one, feels soft day two.

Well done - don’t get me wrong there is nothing off, but this is a total new school effort w/big extraction of red & black fruits accented w/toasty vanilla. Smooth & polished - only faint echoes of smoke, tomato plant, leather & tobacco leaf. Wanted more nuance & secondary aromas... also lacked acidity.

We had a vertical of sorts... 2016 2016 2016 Crianza, 2012 Reserva, and 2010 Gran Reserva! All Conde Valdemar all Tempranillo blends with different aging in barrel and bottle. We all should meet in Rioja to continue the journey! We are out having fun again and we just can’t stop!!!
