Conde de Valdemar – 2004 – Rioja Gran Reserva


A fairly classic Rioja sort of profile (vanilla, red berry fruit) but rather light, with fruit on the bright side – a little bit simple. Not too much going on, rather disappointing (especially at £25). 2004 was an uneven vintage across Rioja, and I think it shows here. The fruit here probably should have been used in a less grand wine than a Gran Reserva.
