spartan personality

fleshy pear and exotic fruits that fill the mid-palate

(from purchased grapes)

It will probably flesh out further with more bottle age

Strong wood and menthol characters bury the fruit at present

Lopez Heredia, Tondonia Tinto Reserva Vintage:2001 spartan personalityThe 2001 Vina Tondonia Reserva is bridled with a lovely nose of decayed red fruit, fireside hearth, a touch of mulberry and small red cherry. The palate is medium bodied with fine tannins, crisp red fruits (wild strawberry and cranberry) with a sharp, vibrant, tense, tannic finish that has immense precision. There is a slight saline note lingering in the mouth after the wine has (regretfully) departed. Drink now 2030+
