TASTING NOTE: Bodegas Valdemar source this impressive Reserva from their own vines in the eastern part of the Rioja Alavesa, marrying Tempranillo with 20% Graciano, Garnacha and Maturana Tinta. Smooth, textured, scented and appealing, with good freshness for the vintage, red berry fruit and a subtle balsamic twist. Drink date: 2022-2030. Score - 93 (timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2022) |
