Best dessert wine I ever had. More of a sherry, but still delicious — 10 years ago

Great zingy nose of mineral, lychee, and white flowers. Pleasantly, the body has more pear roundness and mineral than I expected, of course with a generous helping of bright lemon/lime. Absolutely great mineral--I can imagine the high altitude Chilean soil--, and the acidity is refreshing and drinkable without making it one-dimensional. Incredible aroma, bracing body. A great buy! — 10 years ago

Very refined vintage gran reserva from Lopez de Heredia. Perfumed nose and elegant structure and tannins. Not super full bodied, but very enjoyable with racy acidity and a long finish. Had at Arzak. — 10 years ago

Good complexity for Rioja at this low price point($11). Nice nose. Flavors of sweet red cherry, brown sugar, and savory herbs/spices. Oak showing a bit heavy. — 12 years ago

Typically the most challenging wine for me personally from Lopez de Heredia. Always seems a bit simple out of the gate. Breaks late. With winning results. — 12 years ago

One of the best medium range Sherry. Figs, raisins, dates, coffee beans, vanilla, salted caramel, cardamom, at the taste is smooth, very sapid and with a pleasant bitter liquorice finish — 10 years ago

Tropical fruits, pineapple, very floral. Bone dry and reminiscent of a dry riesling. Declious stuff. — 10 years ago

5-Oh Bday Dinner... Brownish color with yellow in the rims. Like motor oil in a glass. Huge intense nose with brown sugar, old raisins and spice. Coated the palate and was impactful with its 17% + alcohol level. Great wine w our cheese course. An interesting 65 wine to finish off a 50th bday party. — 10 years ago

I enjoyed this wine, but it's probably not gonna rate well by true aficionados because of the overwhelming grape/fruit flavor. Beautiful bouquet on the nose which directly reflects the flavor of this wine. True to the label description of raspberry/blackberry jam. Easy drink, smooth flavor, low tannins. Not overly complex, though it does have a slight coffee-like or earthy kind of finish. The overall body reminds me of a Garnacha, or at least the couple that I've had. For someone who doesn't like tannic or acidic wines, this is perfect. — 11 years ago

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. — 10 years ago

The most rocky wine I've ever had. Peach, melon, citrus and of course, slate. Crisp with a very clean finish. — 10 years ago

9.6

Clear, medium tawny intensity, noticeable legs
Nose is clean and developed with obvious oxidative character, aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and orange peel.
The palate is off dry, with medium- acidity, high alcohol, and a full body. Flavor intensity medium+ with a complex array of caramel, leather, licorice, roasted oranges, and ginger. The finish is long with a slight l tang from the salty but mostly savory-sweet finish.
Outstanding quality. — 10 years ago

Much more body than a typical fino. Richness balanced with bright acidity for a solid food wine. — 11 years ago
