Viña Tondonia Tinto Gran Reserva 2001

López de Heredia hat mit dem Viña Tondonia Reserva 2007 wieder mal ein Prunkstück des klassischen Weinbaus geschaffen: Eine kostbar duftende Essenz, im Glas fast schwerelos wirkend, mit verschwenderischer Aromatik und märchenhafter Balance der Komponenten sowie betörendem Schmelz und Süße der Frucht - ein einzigartiger Wein, der seinem klassischen Stil treu geblieben ist.

"As with many wines this time, I had two vintages to taste of the Reserva from the Tondonia vineyard, 2009 and 2008, two very different, almost opposite vintages. The 2009 Viña Tondonia Reserva, a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Mazuelo and Graciano, matured in used American oak barrels for six years. It has some toasted character, with ripe fruit, black rather than red, denoting a warm year but more restrained than the Bosconia Reserva from the same vintage. 2009 is a year of ripeness, concentration and tannin; the wines are powerful, but here you see the finesse of Tondonia in comparison to the more rustic Viña Bosconia. 220,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2017."
