Amazing showing. Very elegant at just 13% ABV, with beautiful freshness and a refined, savoury character. The nose is complex and expressive, with red fruit, dried flowers, herbs and earthy notes slowly unfolding in the Zalto Burgundy. Nothing feels heavy or forced. There is real depth here, but also finesse and balance. Paired surprisingly well with beef ball soup. A lovely bottle that feels both mature and full of life. 11 bottles more

A reputation this big usually sets a wine up for disappointment. Not here. Super aromatic and nicely textured, it earns every bit of its status, which is rare. After 13 years: cherry and cranberry, dried rose and damp earth for the grown-up side, juicy and round, a little spice, oak that knows its place, and tannins so ripe and integrated you wonder where they went. Frivolous and serious at the same time, and astonishingly soft. If this is not at its peak, I would like to see what peak looks like.

Pretty, smooth, clean, and fresh with balanced layers. Not quite ready though as it struggled to open up. Cranberry, cherry, prune, blackberry, vanilla, leather, balsam notes, and a little dill all integrate nicely. Very nice, but at current retail prices, I would look elsewhere. 94 points.

TWS ‘global icons’ tasting pack. Been a while since I’ve had a Tondonia and a very distinctive wine. Nose of cherry, coconut, oak, vanilla. On the palate cherry, spice, leather, hit of acidity but integrated. Iron on the finish. Tannins are easy-going and approachable.

R. López de Heredia – Viña Tondonia Reserva 2013 🇪🇸 Rioja 🍇 Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Mazuelo One of Rioja’s true classics, aged for years before release using the estate’s traditional methods. A wine that rewards patience and never chases trends. 🔴 Garnet. 👃🏻 Dried cherry, red currant, cedar, tobacco, leather, dill and forest floor. 👅 Silky and beautifully composed, with mature red fruit, lively acidity and fine tannins. Savory, complex and remarkably fresh, finishing long with earthy spices.

Complex aromas of dried cherry, red currant, cedar, leather, tobacco, vanilla and earthy spice lead to a silky, medium-bodied palate. Fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and exceptional balance create a long, savoury finish. Outstanding quality and one of my favourites, a wine I return to with extraordinary pleasure.

After the 2011 and 2012 it's now time for the 2013 vintage. Oldest winery in Haro. Aging for 6 years in American oak barrels. Medium ruby red colour. Assemblage of Tempranillo (75%), Garnacha (20%), Graciano and Mazuelo. Ripe black plum, blackberry, cherry, dried raisin, mushrooms, forest floor and leather. Complex and layered with a well poised balance. Full bodied. Excellent Rioja. 94 pts.

Deep purple colour. On the nose vanilla, oak, cherry. Tones of leather, smoke, red fruit and mushroom. Full bodied. Bold and rich wine. Medium acidity. Haha this at El Pimpi in Malaga.

Great wine. The age creates one of a kind roundness to the palate. Dark, spicy and earthy. Oak, chocolate, coffee on the palate. Really classy and great quality wine.
