This is so bomb... And even more bomb because I picked it up for $6.75. Just a crianza but Conde Valdemar goes above and beyond with everything so I'd imagine this sees a year of oak and further bottle aging before release. It's an ’08 but I'd say it's still got another 5-10 years on it.
Delicious ripe strawberry, raisin, prune, dried red flower, dried blueberry, decomposing leaves, organic matter, irony minerality. Lots of dried fruit but the wine is so fresh and vibrant at the same time. Great acid backbone, mod tannin. Loving this. — 7 years ago

Strawberry, rose, graphite on the nose. Red fruit-- strawberry, cranberry, cherry jolly rancher. Barbecued meat. Slight minerality. Great balance of mod tanins and mod acidity. Maybe even drinking best on day three-- bright fruits faded from being so forward on day one and wine opened up to complexities on day three. — 8 years ago

Great wine! Amazing to taste a 19 year old dry white drinking at its prime. Probably related to being on the lees for years before bottling. Rich, medium body, moderate acidity, mild-mod complexity. Paired nicely with calamari and spaghetti with clams. Wish I had several more bottles. — 5 years ago

90.5 Great refreshing acid, low to mod tannin, silky texture. Ripe cranberry, raspberry jam, strawberry, a bit of savory spice, touch of pepper. Kinda smells and tastes like Northern Rhone syrah's younger less developed but more peppy and high energy brother. — 6 years ago

Does VERY well a decant, takes the brett( which actually like) out & smoothes the edges a bit. Dark dark black fruits, that volcanic minerality all through. Mild to mod tannins. Can match any food, just about- this time chicken w saffron, apricots; roasted brussel sprouts, & corn pudding w roasted garlic & sage — 8 years ago
