Beautiful wine. Very balanced with the right amounts of fruit, acidity, alcohol and very silky tannins. Inky purple. Six years old and drinking nicely. Probably another 5 or more to reach peak. Every bit a Monte Bello. — 9 years ago

Having to work down our bottles in the London wine fridge, so drinking some very young vintages. Last vintage of a six bottle vertical.

Almost 2hr decant. Dark red color. Classic Pontet Canet nose with a little ammonia. Wine is definitely young and green. Fruit forward with cherries as expected but lacks the typical depth. Medium finish. Rounding up to 94. — 5 years ago

Did a blind taste off with this and a very high end Napa Cab. Two of six chose this one. Fair enough. It is explosive, complex and delicious. Dark fruit, leather. All very distinctly Bordeaux. Yum. — 5 years ago

The 2008 R. Lopez Heredia ‘Vina Tondonia Reserva’ Rioja is a marvelous effort from this challenging vintage in La Rioja. The wine is a complex blend of Tempranillo (75%), and Garnacho (15%), with Graciano and Mazuelo (5%) that was aged for six years before bottling. The wine is might be showing a bit more depth and concentration than the ’07 bottling while the ’07 is slightly more geared towards finesse. Deep white truffle and wild blackberry notes combine with shades of cinnamon, orange rind and sour kirsch on this gorgeous bouquet. The palate is wonderfully viscous and concentrated. Layers of sour red and ark fruits collide with minerals, smoky terroir and shades of blood orange zest and peat moss on this simply gorgeous palate. Rich and layered, yet having a sterling sense of tension, this magical new wine will cellar well for at least another fifteen years. Drink 2020-2038- 95 — 5 years ago

Another wine from Orin Swift Cellars. And another one I love. It’s bold and deep. The nose is full of ripe plum, and some other dark fruit with a sweet vanilla. And on the palate it opens itself with some chocolate and a leather. Eight Years In The Dessert needs decantation. Give this wine an hour in a glass and you won’t be disappointed. — 6 years ago

Really enjoyed this as an evening sipper by itself. Subtle notes of the bourbon barrel, fairly well balanced. Would get again, especially for price. — 8 years ago
