Tim Atkin - Rioja 2022 Special Report - López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Blanco 2010 Reserva (12.5%)
This superb, old-vine cuvée from one of Rioja's greatest vineyards is a marriage of Viura and 10% Malvasía that spend six years in barrel before bottling. Richly coloured and intense, it has notes of honey, oyster shell, dried fruits and fresh dough, with wonderful extract and concentration. World class. 2022-30
