". . . I was happy to cross paths with a perfect bottle in the last few months. The bouquet is deep, pure and vibrant on the ’73 Tondonia Gran Reserva, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of cinnamon, singed wood, coffee, strawberry, orange zest, a touch of white pepper and a lovely base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, complex and tangy, with lovely elegance and focus, sound mid-palate depth, and excellent length and grip on the silky and complex finish. Just an excellent bottle in its prime of life. I clearly underrated this wine a touch the last time I tasted it." View From the Cellar, Jan/Feb 2009, Issue #19 |
