2006 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia
Community Tasting Note
jeagle Does not like this wine:
Thursday, July 18, 2019 - Decanted for an hour then consumed over three days. There certainly is wine to meet every taste, but this bottle is apparently in direct opposition to mine. To me, it was post-apocalyptic in style, a dry tannic terrain with listless fruit.

(PS, looking back, I meant to type, “in this context.” I’ll also venture to say we can probably all agree that we prefer to avoid apocalyptic experiences — figurative or real.)
