Bottled in Milan. Didn't know ZH would ship it in batch ;) — a month ago

Brimming with confidence, doesn't need a label. You know what this is. It's stalwart Sangio - true to its core, to the estate, to the cuvee, sophisticated and deep. Barely stick your nose in and you're hit hard with a mixed bag of the stuff you expect and more - cherries and leather, mint and spruce, dates, raisins. Minerals and a scaffolded structure you gotta work through just a bit, but comes together amazingly well. — 2 years ago

Wow. I’ve waited a long time to try my first Tondonia (surely this is a milestone for any budding wine collector, no?), having held onto this 2002 for a while and having a case or two of Heredia’s more recent vintages downstairs.

Such was the anticipation for trying this Rioja stalwart that I was almost nervous that it wouldn’t live up to it - especially with 2002 being such a rotten vintage for Spain’s flagship wine region. But this was staggeringly youthful, piercingly savoury with a gentle balance of tannin & acidity but all the supple features of an old school, aged Rioja. This is really special stuff. — 5 years ago

2011 vintage. Not the best vintage nor the longest-lived. Drinking pretty decently currently. Would I want to slide-tackle this in a decade? No. In the next 5 years? Yes. Plenty of love aboard the ship now. 2.28.24. — a year ago

Beautiful Loire rose’ from a stalwart - 50/50 Pinot and Gamay. Equally acidic and creamy. Lightly meloned - orange cantaloupe, wild strawberries and raspberries. — 5 years ago

A little acidic/sour, not super crisp or dry but buttery. Hint of pineapple. We like it - it's flavourful. Good with pasta, cream sauces or thai but probably not lemon/sour dishes. — 5 years ago
