2007 Lopez de Heredia Rioja Vina Tondonia Reserva

First look at the 2007 Tondonia Reserva 👍🍷

Quite impressive on pop and pour... one of the most attractively balanced and easy drinking since the great 2001 and 2002 ( yes, 2002) bottlings..

This 2007 Tondonia Reserva has dusty, refined tannins...scrumptious sour cherry.....extremely deft use of oak...

Decanted to aerate for dinner later... will see what happens...

I think Luis Gutierrez nailed 2007 as being a special vintage for Lopez de Heredia.... 

Coverage from Luis Gutiérrez,  Stephan Reinhardt and William Kelley are the reason why I still subscribe to TWA.. 

And this is the CURRENT release of the Tondonia Reserva cuvee... ! 
Gotta love the old school tradition at Lopez de Heredia...
