Day 2. Different is trending here. Did a little digging and pulled this gem.
The 2009 Viña Tondonia Reserva, a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Mazuelo and Graciano, matured in used American oak barrels for six years.
Elegance and value. Lively and fresh. Lot’s of life left for this one. Not a bad start for the year.

This is still very young. Lots of lush, ruby fruits of; blackberries, black plum, black raspberries. Tons of barrel notes; wood shavings, charcoal, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, strong, dark spices, caramel, mocha. Meaty, tarry, velvety tannins, dusty soil, volcanic ash, some lead pencil, purple flowers- lavender, violets, nice round acidity. Long, well structured, still big tension but balanced finish. Needs another 6 years of evolution for me. But, nice bottle friends opened. $36 on Last Bottle…over delivers that price now and will even more in six years. — 2 years ago
Surprisingly smooth and mellow. It’s nice for a blend and would buy again. Plus I like bourbon. — a year ago
Very nice, but fairly typical cold weather Pinot noir. Could easily be Oregon, could be Swiss. Really quite nice. — 3 years ago
