  Wow for en vin. Lag på lag med dype komplekse smaker. Krydret i nesen, floral og urtete.

  (Garnacha 60%, Tempranillo 30%, Viura 10%, 13% Alkohol) Dunkles Orange. Die Nase ist ein Gedicht, oxidative Noten, Sherry, Orangenzesten, eingelegte Zwetschgen, Kirschen, Kräuter, Pilze, Unterholz, faszinierender Duft. Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert und fokussiert, reife Frucht, top Struktur, der Wein verfügt über eine faszinierende Spannung, die Gerbstoffe verleihen Grip, die Säure wirkt mild, ist dennoch stützend da. Im Abgang von sehr guter Länge und mit reiffruchtigen Rückaroma, das sich mit dem salzigen Finale zu einem Rosé Gedicht vermählt. Sehr, sehr gut. 94 vvPunkte

  After about 2 cases somehow my first note. My favourite rendition based on potential - great balance with more fruit and fewer kernel notes than 2008. Great grip and acidity. Whilst the 2008 matches wonderfully with orange or fennel dishes, the 2010 is better treated as a light red wine served cool not cold, and in red wine glasses. Never consider this a rose wine. A perfect pairing today with pekking duck - the fruit and cut slicing through. Wonderful wine that will easily cellar at least a decade. 94-95pts, drink to 2035

  First time having this since the 2000 vintage, and a great reminder of why Tondonia rosado is the bottle that first got me into wine. Light oxidative notes like a whiff of Madeira and roasted nuts, but fairly subtle and plays well with the high acid, orange peel, minerals and panoply of red fruit on the palate. American oak imprinted in the wine, which pokes out a bit to start, but integrates after an hour or two. Waxy texture and excellent mid-palate despite the delicate, fine-boned structure. Complex, savory finish. Not sure it improves from here but certainly will keep at this level for several years.
