  C'est pas compliqué, niveau structure, le vin est pratiquement dans un état primaire et sa couleur rouge violacé ne laisse pas présager son age.
  Impressionnant la concentration encore présente de ce Tondonia 64, du gros fruits mure soutenu par des arômes secondaires assez remarqués.
  Plus la soirée avance plus il s'ouvre, typique vieux Rioja mais c'est surtout sa structure qui est bluffante.
  Je comprend le hype sur le 64, c'est grand !

  This was a wow bottle - got very lucky. Opened without decanting and the nose was spectacular. A haunting mix of dark cherries and mushrooms. The palate was just as good. After 2 hours of being opened and poured it just kept going. Probably the WOTN for me amongst a long list of great wines being poured.

  Powerful nose with layers of aroma; black fruits, saddle leather, dried meat and tobacco. It's constantly changing every time you return to the glass. This is stunning and still so youthful, it has precision and clarity of flavour with pure black fruit balanced by perfect acidity, some real grip and layers of leather, tobacco smoke and meaty flavour. Incredibly long. An absolutely stunning bottle.
