Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva 2012

One of the best value wines in the world and a staff fav, Vina Tondonia Reserva is a gem that must be experienced by anyone that enjoys a great glass of wine.

Critics thoughts - The 2012 Viña Tondonia Reserva comes from a very dry year, with 25% less rain than the average (at the time), resulting in lower yields of very healthy grapes that delivered wines with nice balance between alcohol and polyphenols, making it very apt for the aging in barrel. It had a slightly longer élevage in barrel, six years. The wine is aromatic with a developed profile, spicy and tertiary (forest floor, a touch of brick dust and iodine), complex and nuanced. The palate is full and round, with polished tannins and a long, dry finish. It has a textbook Tondonia nose and profile. 250,000 bottles produced. (LG) 95 points The Wine Advocate
