A Super Sunday (Atlanta): Fun to taste alongside 94 Tondonia. This was more open. Floral. Clean and pure. Fruit is more background here. Leathery. Textbook aged Rioja. As it should be. Really excellent wine. LDH is tough to beat.

There are nuanced and delicate aromas of spring air and ripe fruit. Palate is packed with seemingly primary red fruit that coats the palate. More fruit presence than I'm expecting; yet, it's delicate, silky, and weightless and buffered with a acid streak that keep things focused. Long finish. No rush to drink. Beautiful wine.

Excellent wine. The highlight is the scent. Flowers. Dried fruit. Very good. On the palate, as expected, reasonable acidity and light body. Asks for food.
