Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva

Oh god, the salinity on this - blissfully, addictively salty. Propolis, honey, nuts drenched in honey, cashews specifically. Touch of rust, cheese notes emerging. Still a bit closed, hiding secrets, but so bloody delicious. Beautiful acidity still holding strong, buttery texture, soft but with serious potential ahead. This is 17-year-old Tondonia that hasn't even hit its stride yet - layers waiting to unfold. The balance between evolution and restraint is stunning. This is why people obsess over López de Heredia whites. Exceptional.
