1998 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia
Community Tasting Note
hackey37 Likes this wine:
92 Points
Sunday, December 14, 2014 - Garnet color, some opacity, and some brick hints at the rim. The aromas are crushed cherry, sweet tobacco, plum, leather, and currants. The tastes are sour cherry, brown sugar, vanilla, tobacco, and slightly tart red fruit. This wine is light on the palate and complex.

That's it. At this point 98 is more interesting than 01 for my taste.
Rioja is going to be included in your favourite regions, soon.
Cheers!
