R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2011 1.5L Cebreros unwinding in the glass withA traditional beauty that effuses iron, warm earth and savory tobacco leaves, together with plums, spices and orange zest. This is juicy and still tight, with firm but savory tannins. Medium weight and quite zesty in texture, as is the case with the other Lpez de Heredia reds tasted this session. 95 Pts James Suckling
