Bodegas López De Heredia VIÑA TONDONIA 2008 reserva

No one should ignore the quintessential Rioja Reserva: Viña Tondonia represents the highest level requirements of the appellation! After six and a half years of ageing in barrels, the wines are stored for another two years in the bottle before being marketed. The result is daunting. You will be amazed by its nose of vanilla, cocoa and leather. The second nose opens with fruit and rich notes of cherry brandy. The wine evolves every second in the glass for pure pleasure. The palate is opulent, tasty, finely balanced and the tannins are incredibly noble. Full of grace and vigour, it can still be kept in the cellar for a dozen years or be enjoyed now.
