The red wine Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa, vintage 1994 from the winery Bodegas López de Heredia Viña Tondonia has been rated in 2016 by Ulrich Sautter with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region La Rioja in Spain.
A delicate patina on the nose, laden with fresh fruit - currant jelly, raspberry leaves, iodine and fig. An almost weightless density to the palate thanks to very ripe tannin that creates a silky, molten background that's supported but never obscured by ripe acidity. There's a delicate flow to the palate, building subtly towards a delicately mineral finish. Despite the finesse, there is also some tannic impact. Great further ageing potential.
