Red cherries, leather, dried tobacco, roasted plums, iron, olives, vanilla bean, figs, quince. Beautiful acid/silky tannin balance, elegant lush texture, medium bodied, long complex mineral/savory/smoky/spicy finish. Harmonious oak integration. Perfect structure.

Cooked tomato, mushroom, pimenton and wet rock. Surprising acidity as well. Love old Tondonia.
