Vina Tondonia 1970 Lopez de Heredia

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The 1970 Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva has a wonderful bouquet that transports you directly to the vineyard: scents of gravel, wild mushroom, cherries and dusty attic. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannins and thrilling, almost rapier-like acidity. There are notes of decayed red berry fruit, sour lemon, rosemary and sage. The finish is rustic but so full of energy, with hints of orange peel on the finish. Wonderful. Drink now-2020+

Mid ruby, savoury. Very tight and firm. A very different build from most. ?Mineral? skein and backbone to this. Smooth tannins, Very accomplished and sophisticated. Rather aloof but admirable. Lots of life there. More acidity than most but with sufficient fruit too.
