April 7, 2019 - Checking in again in six weeks after the prior: lovely, similar. This time we noticed a pronounced and pleasant saline aspect. Highly enjoyable over four nights, gaining in complexity over that time.

4/10/19, 12:21 PM - Hi westopherguy, I'd love to experience the Rosado again, after my few sips last Sept. Re the Tondonia blanco -- we string most bottles we open out to three or more nights (corked, sometimes topped with inert gas, always refrigerated) -- this way, we have a sampling of 5-6 wines each night with dinner. And tho we love Tondonia blanco, it a bit difficult to pair with some foods. (Goes great with almonds, lime-infused dishes, and fire grilled Turbot -- but hard to fine the latter where we live.) What other foods do you fine that it pairs well with?
