How can you tell a great wine? When it is excellent even in an off vintage... the 2002 LdH Vina Tondonia Reserva is a classic example. LdH wines are fast becoming a go-to wine for me. This vintage is drinking perfectly now. Deep cherry, leather, toasted hazelnuts and a sublime salinity underlying it all. Traditional and absolutely gorgeous Rioja.
The 2001 Brusquieres is a classically styled 60/40 blend of grenache & syrah. Lovely raspberry, creosote and garrigue. The 2001 is not shining as brightly as the 2000 tasted in December but is still very good...
