Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva

Compared to the 2011, this bottle is more developed yet feels slightly sterile, with notable oxidation characterized by honey, bruised apples, pastilla, sea notes, caramel, and a Jerez-like quality. The nose, however, is somewhat muted. The real intrigue lies on the palate, where it is neat and seamless, offering good acidity and a touch of bitterness. Flavors of lemon curd, sea notes, caramel, and bruised apples come together beautifully. While it might not be in its best shape, it still provides a captivating and enjoyable experience.
