R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura
Damnnnn! So fresh and so clean! Have not had much heredia blancos, but assumed the oxidative edge would be much more intense. Although it was present, this btl tasted incredibly fresh. Mint, lemon, cedar, great acidity. These are now on my radar. (Late release)

Oct 26th, 2016Citronella candles drizzled over Honey Nut Cheerios. A lot of stuffing that didn't seem to want to unstuff, probably needs a decant or perhaps few more years surprisingly--wait, not surprisingly, it is Lopez after all...

Jun 27th, 2016Had this about 3 weeks ago, but was hung up in Delectable. This is a special wine. Beautiful and complex. 24 years old, yet youthful and vibrant. Creamy and rich. I just want to spend the whole day with this wine.
