López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva, Rioja 2012

2.250000000 star rating 4 Reviews
Legendary Rioja from this acutely traditional bodega in Haro. The 2012 Tondonia red is 70% tempranillo with 20% garnacha and 10% graciano and mazuelo combined. The reserva spends six years in barrel (just one would satisfy the DO regulations) and several more than the required two in bottle before release. The result is subtle and harmonious, silky in texture, both fresh and mature which is the signature of the Tondonia style.

After six years in barrel (produced at López de Heredia's own cooperage) and three in bottle prior to release this is all you can expect from a classical Viña Tondonia with its focused intensity and muscular yet super elegant tannins. Assertive but also super silky, with juicy fruit gliding through the palate while being pleasantly pulled back by an energetic, smoky verve. Broody while at the same time mature - another accomplished vintage of a true classic.
