Wife got a verbal job offer this afternoon and she decided on the 08 R…
| Remelluri was also in the mix but it was our last ‘12 so she decided to save it. I can’t believe she didn’t go for the 904. I would have picked the Prado but I prefer it closer to 20 y/o. Anyway I can’t believe how fresh and lively the Tondonia is. This is the oldest tondonia I’ve had (current date - vintage date) and It’s like still basically totally primary. Honestly if you gave it to me blind I’d say it’s whatever the current release - or younger ‘12?) there is this insane depth of darker fruit that comes out with food which is literally like a thousand subtleties luling you to sleep and then smacking you in the face. When I look at Tondonia in the cellar I often shy away thinking it’s going to be too light for what I’m looking for but then I try it and it always blows me away. Wow do I love Rioja.
