CONDE DE VALDEMAR |
| This is the SECOND REPEAT of the 2010 that was last released on March 21, 2020 at $29.95. Deep intense purple colour with no hint of aging. Very intense, complex, cedary, Boubon-vanilla-stick-driven with baked ripe plums on the nose. Dry, full bodied very intense, mouthfilling, cedar-driven, fairly herbal, savoury, tangy and yet extremely ripe, somewhat baked, black-cherry-plummy fruit flavours with a lingering, high acid, rather grippy, tobacco-tinged finish. Well made but a bit overwhelming for me, it’s a matter of taste as to how you will like it. It has 14% alcohol 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number LGRV101326 on the back label. |

| TASTING NOTE: ... this stylish, seductively mature Gran Reserva underlines the quality of the vintage as well as the winemaking and blending. Savoury, sweet, refined and refreshing, it has silky tannins, lovely balance and gamey, tobaccoey complexity. Drink date: 2020-2025. Score - 94 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2020) |
