Conde de Salceda 2008

Tasting 2 October 2008

Conde de Salceda Reserva 1998 D.O. Rioja

Tasted to see whether still in good enough condition to sell.

Beautiful, brick colour with a wonderful bouquet of leather, spice and red fruit.

Rich and ripe, perhaps too ripe, on the palate with a lingering full-bodied finish. Finally lacking great acidity for a refreshing finish, but still intact and almost a modern style while showing those traditional woody, spicy Rioja characteristics at the same time.

More than acceptable
