Conde de los Andes – Gran Reserva – 1970

Classic, old-school Rioja from Bodegas Federico Paternina and the superb 1970 vintage.

Brown at the rim, with notes of coffee, pencil wood, and an attractive, oxidised hint of Madeira. Tannins fully resolved, with a little underlying sweetness that hints at caramel.
