Viña Tondonia Tinto Reserva 2012 (x3)
Descripción
Con esta nueva añada el patrón continúa: la atemporalidad hecha vino. Su característico largo envejecimiento en barrica y reposo en botella refleja el buen hacer de la histórica bodega López de Heredia a la hora de crear tintos suaves, redondos, bien desarrollados y con gran capacidad de guarda. Este emblemático reserva es un vino clásico en sus formas que a nadie deja indiferente.

Opinión de los críticos
Savory berries, plums, iron, minerals, tobacco, ink and blood oranges. Very bright, juicy and structured, with sensational balance, aged savoriness and brightness that are typical of Tondonia reds. Beautiful now.
Viña Tondonia can seem austere in its (comparative) youth, especially when compared with sweeter Bosconia, but this is a wine that will reward patience. Picked earlier to assuage the effects of a warmer site, this blend of Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo is structured and focused, with redcurrant, forest floor and green herb notes. Give it time. 2025-32
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. - Luis Gutiérrez.
