2013 R. Lopez de Heredia Rioja Vina Tondonia Reserva [JS95][WA94] Varietal_Furmint black pepper and briar patchProducer: R. Lopez de Heredia Region: Rioja, Spain Varietal: Tempranillo Year: 2013 James Suckling, 95 Points "A traditional beauty that effuses iron, warm earth and savory tobacco leaves, together with plums, spices and orange zest. This is juicy and still tight, with firm but savory tannins. Medium weight and quite zesty in texture, as is the case with the other Lpez de Heredia reds tasted this session. Drink now or hold."
