The 2004 'Viña Tondonia' Blanco is a sensational wine made from Viura (90%), Malvasía (10%). It displays a gorgeous deep, golden color, followed by bright aromatics of candle wax, candied ginger, honeydew melon and suggestions of toasted hazelnuts. The silky mouthfeel coats the palate as flavor of quince, lemon zest, marzipan, beeswax and cantaloupe flavors continue to impress. The wood is rather intense, but connects well with the richness of this wine. Overall, this is a silky, rich and elegant Rioja Blanco from this storied estate. (Best 2017-2027) - July, 2017 (OB)
