Vina Tondonia, Tinto Reserva, 2012
The 2012 is currently imbued with a cornucopia of flavours – bramble fruits, bruised plum, macerated cherry, orange rind, clove and nutmeg. There are early hints of tertiary aromas with tobacco leaf, dried leather, ground coffee and a subtle touch of forest floor blossoming on the finish.
critic reviews
The 2012 Vina Tondonia Reserva comes from a very dry year, with 25% less rain than the average (at the time), resulting in lower yields of very healthy grapes that delivered wines with nice balance between alcohol and polyphenols, making it very apt for the aging in barrel. It had a slightly longer elevage in barrel, six years. The wine is aromatic with a developed profile, spicy and tertiary (forest floor, a touch of brick dust and iodine), complex and nuanced. The palate is full and round, with polished tannins and a long, dry finish. It has a textbook Tondonia nose and profile. 250,000 bottles produced.
