Conde de Valdemar Crianza

Another wine my dad brought me at Christmas. It's a bit past its prime, but a little oxygen & the second day helped refresh it. A beautiful red wine blend, mostly Tempranillo, from the Rioja region. Tastes of plum & cherry, oaky with a short finish.

Not sure how long this sat at Dad's, but a quick Google search showed this would have been best around 2009. Yesterday, I was a bit worried as the bottle had a slight vinegar smell upon first opening. It's not fabulous at this point, but not bad enough to throw out. If I were to come across this label again, I may pick up a bottle. The same google search had the price listed between $9.99 & $15.
