2008 Vina Tondonia Tinto, Reserva, Bodegas R. Lopez de Heredia, Rioja, Spain

HoldPlentifulTim Atkin MW 97/100

Tondonia's reds have been on an upward curve recently and are now at the same level as the bodega's world-class whites. This is a fine, elegant, savoury, low-alcohol blend of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, combining summer berry fruit, racy acidity, granular tannins and an earthy, balsamic undertone. Good now, but this will develop further in bottle.
