Bodegas Valdemar Conde Valdemar Rioja Crianza 2020 - from $25.50 a bottle

In their words - Vibrant red cherry colour, with a medium-high intensity, clean and bright. On the nose, it is fresh and intense, highlighting the aromas of forest fruits that are integrated in a balanced way with oak notes and a spicy touch that adds complexity. On the palate, the wine is tasty, with a soft and pleasant entry that brings freshness. Its passage through the mouth is friendly and balanced, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a nice impression of black fruit, spices, and a subtle hint of licorice.
