2004 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Tondonia
Community Tasting Note
WhatsSamSipping Likes this wine:
Sunday, August 12, 2018 - Opened two hours prior to pouring. The fruit was vivid and fresh. Still a young wine but quenching as all getup! As the night went on and on days two and three the wine showed more musk and drier fruit.
As a primary wine it is very enjoyable. If you're looking for tertiary notes there is still a lot of time between now and then.

The 2002, 2003 and 2005 all are more accessible and provide more pleasure now, but the more structured 2004 should turn the tables in six to ten years and will probably be longer-lived. Until that time comes, I will continue to enjoy my 2002s and 2003s, but I am already looking forward to a mature 2004... Cheers!
