Conde de los Andes Tinto 2013 represents a renaissance for this historic Rioja brand, now under the direction of Bodegas Ollauri. This wine merges the classic style of Rioja with a contemporary approach, using grapes from old Tempranillo vines. Its eighteen months of aging in French oak gives it structure and complexity while retaining its distinct varietal character. The magnum format allows for a slower evolution, resulting in greater aromatic finesse and excellent aging potential. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and herbal notes, combined with vanilla, cinnamon, and cocoa. On the palate, it is fresh and silky, with well-integrated tannins and a long, spicy finish. This wine is best enjoyed with roasted lamb, Iberian charcuterie, and cured cheeses, served at 16-18 °C.
