(Lopez de Heredia Vina Gravonia) #2; COLOR-medium to dark golden; NOSE-quite stinky and funky; PALATE-this is a nerd wine; very intriguing; olive oil; gasoline; Vaseline; very interesting flavor profile; has almost a sherry-like flavor component that gives it subtle butterscotch and caramel components on the finish; very elegant; phenomenal pairing with the black licorice; really coats the palate; really nice wine for $19 bones; GV-89

Root Day - level bottom of neck. Cork sound but wine soaked almost to the top. Dark lemon in colour with a wonderful bouquet of nuts, citrus, chalk (?), mineral and caramel. On the palate it’s mouthfilling with little of the sherry aspect I expected - much more fruit forward (pear/apple) and with stunning acidity that cleanses the mouth. Long finish with citrus, sherry and now some toast and spice showing. Definite drink now.

Vina Tondonia lunch at restaurant Maeve (Utrecht, NL): Already quite advanced, sherry, bee wax and honey notes. Good balance, a hint of cabbage that would keep me from cellaring it much longer. Medium finish

My seventh and final bottle. I lucked out, no oxidation at all in this bottle. The wine is still evolving, and it was hard to discern the type of fruit flavours on show here: it was more about the creamy, pure, balanced texture of the wine. There were nutty notes, almost a la Burgundy, and even a touch of the Musar blanc type flavours too. Ready now - if you get a solid bottle - but it should last a little while yet too. Always an intriguing, singular wine (A-/A).
