López de Heredia: (Time) Travel in Rioja
A wine list by Luis Gutierrez
Some of the wines we tasted:
1981 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja
Somewhat restrained and classic, showing red fruit, tobacco and smoke in a Bordeaux way.
1985 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja
Spiced raspberry and some forest floor notes. Ready to drink.
Priced From: $33.49
Out of Stock
1987 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva Blanco Rioja
The youngest white we tasted was the most oxidative one. It’s as if these wines get younger in bottle.
1981 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Bosconia Gran Reserva Rioja
From a different vineyard; fuller, more aromatic and presented in a Burgundy bottle, as a true “declaration of intentions.”
1987 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja
The most recent Gran Reserva released, still creamy and fresh
Priced From: $27.99

1997 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Rosado
Different from all roses we know. Almond paste, cinnamon and licorice.
Priced From: $104.99

1973 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Reserva Blanco Rioja
A discovery. Citric, with nutty aromas, marzipan and lime tea. Very fresh in the mouth.

Starting to show some maturity in the nose, but its acid spine will keep it alive for a long time.
Priced From: $184.99

The freshest of the whites along with the ’73.
