Vina Tondonia Red Reserva 2001

16^½/20

Rioja Alta, Rioja, SpainSince when is the current red vintage on our shelves more than a dozen years old? Gracias Rioja. And especially the majestic Bodegas R. López de Heredia, the epitome of old school, timeless, individualistic and ritualistic winemaking. Their wines respect historic traditions, and released when ready to drink. Luckilly for us. This old vines Reserva (tempranillo, garnacha graciano, mazuelo) opens with worn books, old cherry wood and dried strawberries. The palate feels well-worn and welcoming: dried cherry, sweet wild strawberries, aged leather, dried rose petals, earthy salinity a lift of fresh cranberries and a thin rasp of bitter cherry tannins before the mineral-lingering finish. Classic, timeless and excellent value.Tasted: 15 April 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
