R. LOPEZ DE HEREDIA Rioja Tinto 'Vina Tondonia' Reserva DOCa 2014 Case x 6 Magnums - PRE-RELEASE

Description

Another wonderful pre-release opportunity to purchase an iconic wine: Viña Tondonia Reserva 2014 by R. López de Heredia, available as a single case of 6 magnums for only £365. This is a rare chance to secure a classic Rioja from one of the region’s most venerated houses.

Viña Tondonia is Rioja royalty, famed for wines built to age and to reward patience. The 2014 Reserva arrives from a cooler, slow-ripening year that produced wines with energy, fine tannins and bright acidity. López de Heredia’s traditional cellaring and long élevage deliver wines of unmistakable identity and longevity.

Past Tondonia releases have been met with high praise and top scores, underlining the house’s consistency and collectability:

- Wine Advocate and Luis Gutiérrez have given the 2013 Reserva 95 points, noting its mushroom and truffle complexity, fine tannins and a long drinking window 2025 to 2040.

- James Suckling scored the 2013 95 points and praised its brightness, succulence and long finish; he gave the 2012 96 points and the 2010 97 points, highlighting depth, balance and classic Tondonia savoury character.

- Vinous scored the 2013 Reserva 97 points, calling it refined, enduring and a benchmark classic with chalky grip and layered tertiary length.

These accolades demonstrate the pedigree you are buying into. The 2014 Reserva sits in that lineage: classic, age-worthy and utterly compelling.

Tasting:
Deep garnet with early tertiary thread. Aromas of black cherry, damson and violet lead into cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and forest floor. The palate is concentrated and poised, with polished tannins, saline minerality and a long savoury finish. Drink to 2040; approachable now with decanting.

Food matches and cellar thinking
Perfect with roast lamb, beef Wellington, slow-braised beef, venison with juniper, truffle dishes, and aged sheep cheeses. Ideal for collectors and for special dinners where provenance and pedigree matter.
