"Eher verschlossen, nicht auf den ersten Moment attraktiv, ein Wein, der Zeit braucht. Pflaumen und Beeren sind auszumachen sowie kühler Rauch. Am Gaumen sehr elegant mit perfekt ausgereiftem Tannin und wunderbarer Würze. Mit gutem Recht einer der großen Klassiker."

"Verschlossen schokoladig im Duft. Im Mund fest angreifend, straffes, ein klein wenig spitzes Tannin, aber dadurch sehr lebendig und frisch. Viel Saft im Hintergrund, erst sich zu öffnen beginnendes Aromenpotenzial. Fest gebauter Wein, aber ohne Aggression und ohne Überextraktion. Sehr gute Länge und ganz klassisch im Stil."

"Viura und Malvasia. Goldene Farbe. Sehr komplexer Duft, grüner Tee, gepflegtes altes Holz, Lindenblüte. Gutes Volumen am Gaumen, druckvoll, weich und reif, aber mit zarter Säuregliederung. Hervorragende Dichte, feingliedrig differenziert, mineralisch unterfüttert. Balanciert und entspannt, langer würziger Nachhall."

Sehr eleganter Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und sehr feinen Tanninen, tolle KonzentraÂtion, saftig, mit mineralisch-lebendigem Nerv, lang, schließt mit delikater Süße und wirkt noch immer sehr jung. Sehr langlebiger Rioja."

"(2011) 13% abv, Cork. Quite subdued, some creamy and earthy berries, but not exuberant. Nice little gamy notes have developed. The palate has a cherry and orange freshness, with a cool character and very nice balance, though perhaps the fruit could sing a little more, it has lovely elegance and length and will probably age extremely well."

"Typically amber in color, with aromas of dried cherries merging into apricots. Tangy and sharp on the palate, as is standard. Neither fruity nor deep, even according to Tondonia's track record. Newcomers may not be impressed."

"Not old by Tondonia standards, in fact it's a new release. Yet it's already orange and rusty in color, with aromas of citrus peel, crushed spice and subdued berry. The palate is lean, with sharp acidity (the key to this wine's longevity). Lots of pulse and zip on the finish. Spent five years in barrel."
