  A little closed and funky at opening, but reveals itself nicely after a while. Nut, honey, mushroom, apples. Acidity is great and a long aftertaste. Great with cheese and cured meat.

  Color dorado con destellos oro viejo. 2009 es una edad razonable para un blanco de Tondonia pero me pareció algo evolucionado. Comienza algo reducido en nariz, para dar paso a notas de ciruela amarilla, flores silvestres, especias dulces, tostados, corteza de pomelo, miel ligera y frutsos secos. En boca la entrada es buena, pasa bastante fluido aunque por momento hay cierto peso en boca, lo mejor la frescura, suaves amargos, cuerpo medio y bastante persistencia.

  First time experiencing this wine and clearly a step above from the Gravonia. The ageing is integrated (but maybe too much wood for my taste, not an issue, just a question of preference), superb presence on the palate, long finish. Drink this with a nice selection of hard cheese and you'll be in heaven

  Expressive nose with lovely notes of white flowers, almonds, lemon, citrus, apple, and smoke. Nice acidity on the palate with deep and rich flavors of nuts, more lemon, flowers, and minerals. Long finish. This was outstanding, even better than the last bottle. The wine is complex and rich, yet doesn't feel heavy at all.
