Vintage 2010 / Lots of character. BlackBerry. Also a bit a stinking impression and metal (?). Juicy with good acidity.

The 2010 ‘Gran Reserva’ Rioja by Conde Valdemar is an outstanding new release from this sensational vintage in Rioja. This fantastic 2010 bottling opens with a beautiful bouquet of blood orange zest, pomegranate seed, leather and forest floor aromas that all combine marvelously in the glass. The palate shows a wonderfully rich mouthfeel. Black and red fruits combine with citrus rind and earthy tones. Beautiful now this will evolve gracefully over the next fifteen years. Drink 2019-2033- 93

We had the pleasure of drinking a 14 year old Rioja. Very old world as it was narrow on the palette with dark cherry, oak, vanilla all very well integrated and balanced. Good length on the finish, present. All aground a wonderful experience.

Delicious notes of blackberry; fruity but nuanced, betraying its age; medium-full bodied

Typical Rioja aromas and flavours from an excellent vintage.
Brilliant appearance, pronounced nose of fruit and aged developments, mild but clear palate tastes - clean and smooth, balanced.

It’s an ok Grand Reserva....but it didn’t blow me away.

Prominent upfront intense dark red cherry heavily lace in oak that is not fully integrated with the wine which makes it single note.

Soft red fruit and floral notes on open. Tart cherry, cranberry, leather and a bit of graphite. Med tannins with a tart finish

Porlande härligt rödvin. Slinker ned utan motstånd men har en kraftig fruktighet som är väldigt fin.
