Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend

Exactly where I want this to be!! Still intact fruit peeking through all the tertiary layers and complexity

Cola, fresh dried cherries, black cherry on the palate, med plus acid and tannin. Decaying flowers

Just beautiful.

Cranberries, beef broth, tea leaves, chestnuts, freshness and acidic lift. Even improved 30 minutes after pulling the cork! Delightful. A joy to share this bottle with my - soon to be 50 yo - brother.

What J. said. Amazingly fresh! Still holding its own. Improved for quite some time after pulling the cork.

Delicious

Absolutely delicious. Rich, powerful. Always a pleasure to drink.

Ethereal perfume. Lovely stuff Tondonia 73!

Older than me, the colour of coca cola, and fairly horrible for the first glass or so. Revealed lovely vintage Rioja charms as it opened up. Very memorable for not much money.
