1999 Vina Tondonia Blanco Reserva, Rioja
From Bodegas Lopez de Heredia. Soapy nose, not attractive. Balanced entry, very full bodied and with a really good palate full of tropical fruit. Soft aftertaste but very fine length. Lovely balance and even some tannins on the palate! 86/100. Drunk 06-May-14.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
