Tondonia Reserva (red) – 2001


Still quite meaty, although the tannins are soft enough for drinking now. Quite a bite of acid. Vivid, delicious, still quite primary raspberry fruit, from an excellent vintage, it is already superb but is likely to reward aging; I’ll be interested to see if it develops a lot of secondary flavours, or gets more fragrant, or even just quietens down. We had a half bottle, so a whole likely to be less well developed. Enormously good value for money when you think what you could get at for the same price elsewhere.
