Bodegas Valdemar Rioja Conde de Valdemar Gran Reserva 2001 1.5L

Critic tasting note: (2001 vintage) "Big prune, coffee, barnyard, black cherry, vanilla, roast beef, leather, smoky, resin, soy, cigar, tobacco, cooked carrot aromas. Round, rich, supple, dry palate with good acidity and ripeness. Smoked beef, gamey, carrot, tobacco leaf, dried herb, barnyard, saddle leather, menthol, light Band-Aid and prune flavours. Good finesse in an older style Rioja. Drink now - 5 years. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." - 89/100, Gismondi on Wine
