    August 21, 2015 - Vive la France: Paris et l'Yonne; 8/11/2015-8/22/2015 (France): A wine that draws attention from the outset with a deep ruby color and high layer . Completely transparent and limpid. Almost no sediment at all which is almost unthinkable in many aged wines.
    Tondonia impressively austere nose with that recognizable style, full of minerals and coal touches plus leather with wood and wet stones.
    The palate is some meat and earthy of notes fungi. Still a sharp acidity and a tannic memory. Amazing. The fruit is manifested in the aftertaste. A wine for aging but still really round at this time.

    Un vino que llama la atención desde un primer momento con un color rubí profundo y de capa alta. Totalmente transparente y límpido. Sin casi sedimentos lo cual es casi impensable en vinos con tantos años.
    Impresionantemente tondonia en nariz con ese estilo austero reconocible, lleno de toques minerales como de carbón y de piedras mojadas junto con el cuero y madera.
    En boca es cárnico y terroso con algunas notas a hongos. Todavía una afilada acidez y un recuerdo tánico. Increíble. La fruta se manifiesta en el retrogusto. Un vino todavía de guarda pero realmente redondo en este momento.
