Conde de Valdemar Gran Reserva 2001 1.5 Litre - Rioja, Spain
A story of wine that begins back in 1889 with Joaquín Martínez Bujanda, the first generation of this winery saga who at the time was already making wine in Oyón, the family’s native town. His son Marcelino followed in his steps, as did his grandson Jesús who, along with his son of the same name, and currently chairman of the winery, set up Bodegas Valdemar in the 1980s.

This wine displays an attractive red cherry colour with a garnet rim. It has complex aromas of spices, balsamic touches of cedar and eucalyptus reminiscent of Atlantic woods, as well as hints of tobacco. Elegant, very well balanced, extremely expressive and showing a fine character.

This wine scored an average of 90/100 from critics with Tim Atkin scoring it 94/100
