Rioja Reserva "Vina Tondonia" R. Lopez de Heredia 2011
95 Bod. - James Suckling
Jedno od najboljih berbi Viña Tondonia Reserva zadnjih godina. Vino je provelo šest godina u barik buradima, još dvije godine u velikim posudama, pa tri godine u flaši prije puštanja u promet. Vibrantno crvene boje blago vodeći ka boji ćilibara, srednjeg tijela, sa vrlo rafinisanim taninima, blago svježe teksture i aroma vanile i sušenog bobičastog voća. Bogato, vrlo suvo, glatko i razvijeno na nepcima. Bezvremenski klasik, poduprijet kiselošću i pokazujući značajni fokus i preciznost. 75% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha i 10% Graciano and Manzuelo. Uparuje se sa suvim mesom, jagnjetinom, divljači i živinskim mesom.
95 Points - James Suckling
One of the finest vintages of Viña Tondonia Reserva of recent years, this wine spent six years in barrique, another two years in large casks, and finally three years in bottle before release. A vibrant red leading slightly towards amber, this is medium bodied with very refined tannins, a light fresh texture and aromas of vanilla and dried berries. Rich, very dry, smooth and developed on the palate. This is a timeless classic, sustained by acidity and showing remarkable focus and precision. 75% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha and 10% Graciano and Manzuelo. Pair with charcuterie, lamb, game and poultry.
