Noteringar:
2007-10-26 01:23 WS: A faded beauty, with delicate notes of rose, lavender and spice accenting the traditional flavors of dried cherry, tobacco and tea. Alluring, but needs to be sipped on its own. Drink now. 1,614 cases made. –TM
2007-10-26 01:24 WA: The 1987 Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva displays an expressive, perfumed nose with suggestions of cedar, leather, licorice, cocoa and minerals along with ethereal layers of sweet fruit that open in the glass. Although it offers excellent length and prominent acidity which will allow the wine to drink well for at least another decade its overall balance is not quite as outstanding as that of the best Gran Reservas in this tasting. 91/Anticipated maturity: 2006-?
2007-10-26 01:24 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 05 ($81) Orange-tinged red. Aromas of plum, gunflint and tobacco. Dense and silky but penetrating, with ethereal flavors of red fruits, minerals and smoke. Soft, round and resolved yet this also possesses a sappy quality. The sweet fruit carries into a very long, coconutty finish featuring firm-edged tannins. (Tasting old wines in the bodega's spooky, cobwebbed cellar can be thrilling, but in recent years I have had considerable difficulty finding fresh bottles of the Lopez de Heredia wines in the U.S. market. This time around I was lucky.) 91 points
