R. Lopez de Heredia Rioja Vina Tondonia Reserva 2010
R. Lopez de Heredia Rioja Vina Tondonia Reserva 2010
Sweet fruit and lead pencil notes dominate this wine, whose brightness and liveliness promise decades of potential. Ancient vines and great know-how to ensure that Tondonia always delivers the goods. We do not know of a more consistent wine in existence, though 2008 is considered a standout at this address.

James Suckling, 94 pts
Taking on a balsamic and high-toned wood character to the ripe fruit on the nose. Some dried cheese and ripe fruit, too. Medium-bodied with integrated tannins that are polished and fine. Goes on for minutes. A beautiful, traditional wine, as always. Drink or hold
