Bodegas Valdemar
Conde Valdemar Crianza Rioja Tempranillo
La Rioja Alta, La Rioja, Spain
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.

Nice nose. Good finish. Liked this rioja. House wine in Granada with paella near cathedral. 2015 vintage. Probably young so could be better
