Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja 1981
Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja 1981
Lopez de Heredia is one of the classics of Rioja. This is still owned by the same family who founded it in the late 1800's and they continue to make wine in the same manner it was at that time. This is truly an opportunity to look back in time in the wine world.
The 1981 Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva has a vibrant nose reminiscent of coeval Burgundy, with scents of citrus peel, orange rind, singed leather and a Tuscan delicatessen. The palate has a penetrating orange peel and tart cherry entry with potent earthy notes at its core. It is supremely well-balanced with an energetic finish underpinned by crisp dry tannins. This wonderful Rioja is drinking perfectly now and will age effortlessly. Drink now-2020+" 95 points Neil Martin The Wine Advocate
