James Suckling (JS) : 97 Points (2008)

A pristine, classic Rioja with vanilla, lanolin, sea salt, light blanched almond and nougat. It’s full-bodied with layers of fruit and intense, unique flavors. Tasting history. Drink now.

Robert Parker (RP) : 95 Points (2008)

The 2008 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva has a subtle and elegant nose, shyer than the 2009, a little closed and undeveloped. It's a year with more acidity and less ripeness, with a combination of citrus and honey and a very dry sensation in the palate, a chalky mouthfeel. This feels undeveloped and in need of time in bottle to develop more nuance and complexity. This is a cooler and sharper wine than the 2012 Gravonia or the 2009 Tondonia Blanco. Rating : 95+

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 90 Points (2006)

This vintage of Tondonia is elegant and fully developed, its cool dill scents and zesty flavors of wild strawberry and pomegranate still firm but beginning to yield to the touch. Lovely to drink now, this is the kind of versatile Rioja that can match most anything, from sautéed hake cheeks to wintry roasts, and even the cheese course.

Tim Atkin (TA) : 97 Points (2005)

The grapes used to make this stunning white - blending Viura with 10% Malvasía - are all from vines that were planted at the turn of the last century. Oxidatively handled in large wooden tanks, it’s a unique, last-of-the-Mohicans style that combines focus with depth, richness with grace. Beeswax, seashore and umami notes, with hints of salted almond and lemon peel. 2018-30. Alcohol: 12.5%

Decanter (DCT) : 96 Points (2005)

Traditional Rioja at its ageworthy best, the Tondonia red is a cuvee of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Graciano and Mazuelo. Leafy, gamey and sweet, with tangy acidity and a volatile lift.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2005)

This white has a traditional character. A thick, firm texture carries baked apple, orange peel, tarragon and vanilla notes, with lively acidity keeping this focused. Drink now through 2025.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2003)

Sep/Oct 15. By Josh Raynolds. Bright ruby-red. Ripe cherry, vanilla and floral pastilles on the smoky, oak-spiced nose. Sweet and supple on the palate, offering pliant red fruit and spicecake flavors with suave mocha and vanilla bean nuances. Quite lively and fresh for a wine from a hot vintage, and showing no excess fat. Finishes sweet, toasty and very long, with smooth tannins making a late appearance.
