It is well known that classic white Rioja can handle decades in a bottle. I believe Lopez de Heredia is a true master at this game. This 1981 Tondonia is rustic and musty at first then, after decanted, open with a beautifull palate, full and dense with a super be acidity. It is a wine you cannot compare to anything in the world but this mix of brightness, light oxidation and maturity is phenomenal. A very serious wine with tons of spices, with a sexy cassonade/ cinnamon nose. I absolutely loved it. A true experience

Almonds, wax, vinegar, cold smoke and pear on the nose. Again a lot of smokey flavours on the palate. Very straight with fresh acidity & bone dry. Long finish. A very special wine which every wine freak should taste once in his life.
