Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Review Online (91): Every time I open a bottle of traditional Rioja Reserva, I relish the lovely barrel aromas blossoming from the glass along with the fruit. The wood scents echo on the palate, leading to a finish that is primarily marked by dark blackberry fruit. A lovely, substantial wine.

Owen Bargreen (92): The 2017 ‘Reserva’ by Bodegas Valdemar shows up inky in the glass, offering an excellent combination of depth and poise. Black plum, soy sauce and wild blackberry tones mingle well with orange rind and sandalwood on the palate. Smooth and soft, enjoy now and over the next decade.
