Lot #1096. R. López de Heredia Rioja Tinto Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia 1985

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 ST.
"Deeper orange-red. Knockout perfumed nose of great purity and complexity: strawberry, milk chocolate, loam and an intriguing muskiness. Great clarity and grip in the mouth thanks to brilliantly harmonious acids. Has buns of steel but also a wonderful penetrating sweetness. Tannins are suave and resolved. An extremely elegant, very intensely flavored Rioja with superb persistence on the palate." Vinous, Nov 1999
Provenance: The Moineau Cellar
Notes: Top shoulder, lightly scuffed wax capsule, very lightly scuffed label.
