Tondonia Reserva (Blanco) – 1998


The usual sort of gold with amber highlights quite typical in aged, oaked white wine.

Quite a creamy, oxidative palate with that bit of burnt oak. Does the oxidative acid dominate a little too much? American oak, but not highly dominant, primary new oak. Attractively bitter; while I often find the white Tondonias remind me of Seville orange, the citrus quality here is definitely grapefruit. A little less density than is typical in the Gran Reservas. Fine, dry, oxidative, acidic.
