R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend
What an absolute treat. Medium ruby in the glass with just a hint of garnet. Fruit and tannin almost completely resolved. The purity of the acidity is stunning but the most impressive part of the wine is the texture and mouthfeel. Silky and elegant. Earth and mushroom. Burgundian.

Apr 21st, 2021Tasted blind. Nice bright tawny color. Notes of cherry, rhubarb, stems, moist soil and pea shoots. Lots of fruit in the mouth. A bit disjointed and kind of went all over the place. I guessed red burgundy, and there were other guesses citing other continents. A true CMF wine. We all guessed the color and the planet right.
