Προβολή μετάφρασης1961 R. López de Heredia, Viña Tondonia - Ριόχα Gran Reserva - 1 Φιάλη (0,75L)
Αρ. 84919189
Bottle picked up directly from the racks of the "cemetery" cellar of R. López de Heredia winery in Haro, La Rioja, in 2011.
Labels were damaged because of the moisture of the cellar after four decades stored in racks. Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for the next 20-25 years.
Stored in private cellar up to today.
17.5/20 Jancis Robinson: "Mid ruby. Very open indeed on the nose with a certain sweet strawberry character. Again this wine is fine-boned and has lots of acidity. Dry finish. Neat and very well balanced. Just a little austere but certainly refined. Mid-length".
94/100 Stephen Tanzer: "Medium red. A highly perfumed bouquet displays red fruit preserves, smoked meat, and potpourri. Deeply pitched redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show a slight medicinal reserve, which makes this wine seem far younger than it is. The potpourri note builds with air and carries through a long, chewy, smoky finish. Definitely let this air out for an hour or so. Incidentally, I had the chance to drink two lithe and highly fragrant bottles of the 1961 Vina Bosconia at a restaurant in San Sebastian that had been in their cellar for at least the last 20 years. If you're lucky enough to own that wine (like these older wines, it is still available from the winery) there's absolutely no reason to hold off drinking it. I couldn't hold off, twice".
*** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier. Packed in a special wine box officially certified by UPS and DHL. Bottles are packed individually, one by one, and wrapped in a 3 layers bubble wrap. Due to the nature of the wine and the value of the products all lots are shipped with insurance coverage. ***
