Very good and much more oxidized then 2 years ago. If you like Vin Jaune or sherry this is a wine for you. Almost as good as the old Ygay Blanco used to be.

Monthly Tasting Group LTB; Rioja: A wine for the experienced taster. Not really what you would expect I suppose. The wine has Sherry and nutty flavors and lots of oak, not really integrated yet. Same on the palate. A lot of oxidized impressions and that is what the wine is supposed to be. I think that in its style this is a good wine. I also think that you love it or you hate it and that for most the latter is the case. Personally I need a line-up of wines like this to give it a proper score and since that was not the case, I do not score it.

Color amarillo dorado brillante y fina lágrima bien abundante y algo lenta. Agradable nariz que arranca con abundante fruta blanca y toques de fruta del hueso, finas notas de los tostados de la barrica que se muestran algo cremosos, toques de brioche y bizcochos con mantequilla caliente, sensaciones que recuerdan a los vinos generosos de Jerez con notas de levaduras y frutos secos (almendras algo tostadas), algo de manzanilla, flores secas, ligera salinidad de fondo que se entremezclan con las notas licorosas. En boca tiene una fresca y notable entrada, secante en todo su recorrido, intenso, muy buena acidez, fruta cítrica y blanca madura, bien estructurado y con cierta fuerza aunque tiene un buen paso en boca, tostados no tan marcados como en nariz, algo graso y persistencia algo secante. Final largo, postgusto de fruta blanca y retronasal algo ahumado y licoroso (de frutos cítricos).

Mature, maturing and immature Rioja eve (Ulf and Maria S, Umeå, Sweden): The two Tondonias took my breath away and I found it hard to focus on this one.
