1968 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Condonia Rioja. Drank for family dinner in Napa. We decanted just before white wine was served. At first drank like a beautiful burgundy- raisiny, sweet, with a smooth finish. Unfortunately, the wine petered out a little quickly. Thankfully, we had the 2001 Casanova di Neri Brunello. — 9 years ago
It has a bite to it when you first try it out of the bottle. Let it breath and the taste changes. Bitter (has that bite) at first but then becomes sweet. Over-all, happy smiles for me!! Love Navarro-Lopez wines, yummy!!! — 9 years ago
Drinking 2003, probably the hardest white to find in Portugal. Similar to Lopez de Heredia, this white will age well over the next 3-4 decades. — 10 years ago

Luscious aroma of red berries and earth with subtle hints of spices. Acidic but clean on the palate with long, memorable finish. A true value Temperanillo. — 13 years ago

This white Rioja wine - Viura and “other varieties” - shows a pale golden tint in the glass. The nose is beautiful. Citrus and tropical fruit abound, with a stony minerality laced into the fruit. On the palate, the acidity is extremely refreshing and the flavors of tangerines and lemons are again presented in mineral fashion. The finish is lengthy and the tropical fruit seems to last the longest. — 8 years ago

La Rioja Alta is but a stone's throw from my other favorite Rioja producer, Lopez de Heredia. The pedigree of the 2005 Reserva Viña Ardanza is evidenced by layered, complex aromatics—leather, terracotta roof tiles, plums and sun-baked figs, Madagascar vanilla bean and a lofty top note of char. In the mouth, it's medium bodied, but no less intense, and varied, with red cherries giving way to black peppercorn and green notes of dill, celeriac and dried rosemary. Perhaps even dark chocolate shavings. — 10 years ago
1954 R. Lopez Tempranillo. — 10 years ago
White - Another fantastic wine from Lopez de Heredia, aged for six years in barrel a wonderful vintage that aged greatly, light waxy and oxydation notes - always happy to get this great classics from one of the best traditional producer of Rioja :) — 10 years ago
Another lovely old school Rioja. Their bodega is right across the street from Lopez Heredia but their wines are actually drinkable! — 11 years ago
Vin à 12,65...très bon — 12 years ago
For a nearly 40 yro Rioja so fresh & vibrant. High pitch notes of mixed red fruit and vanilla on palate. Still snap of acidity to close out finish. Interesting to compare to the younger Lopez Tondonia from night before-not as deep? Drank by the river Jan Kill at the end of a good hike. — 6 years ago

5th wine of the night., How lucky are we., Carlos Lopez de la Calle is friends with Anthony and showcased his wine e as well during our Edge Hill tasting. Incredible Tempranillo., very aromatic., spicy with great structure and silkiness. We popped & poured., the bottle would have been better if decanted for 4+ hours. Very young and still wound tight. However. Promises to be an incredible vintage! We did notice sone bottle variations. — 9 years ago
Of six RdDs, this was my favorite. At bit closed at first, then smoky meats and raisins. Full bodied and powerful with ripe cherries, oak and chocolate on the finish. Surprising, since it was one of the cheapest of the evening. — 10 years ago
Very fruity, cherry flavour, little tannin, easy to drink, medium body. — 11 years ago
