Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2000

Rosado 2000 LdH

Garnacha 60%, Tempranillo 30%, Viura 10%
Medium salmon to a copper rim.
Amazingly complex nose. Buttery (suggesting diacetyl from malolactic fermentation), nutty (suggesting extended oxidative aging in oak barrels, probably used), toasted almond (oxidative acetaldehyde aromas), savory sweet toast (used oak), slight animal fur (suggesting Brettanomyces). Predominantly savory. Slight acetaldehyde.

A bit flat on the palate, with medium body, medium alcohol (12%), medium acid (tart sour almond skin finish I associate with excessive acetaldehyde), and no phenolic bitterness. Some notes of sour old coconut milk (possibly signs of extended aging in used American oak barrels - it spends 4.5 years in oak). Also some sweet vanilla and bourbon/maple syrup aromas (also probably used American oak. Nutty toasty almond skins and biscotti.
