Have to say I prefer this to the Tondonia GR. Yeah, T has higher acidity, is more delicate and classic, but this really has the fruit and the gumption to make it a timeless wine. A real pleasure/knockout

Glorious soft red fruit. Intense raspberry fruit but settled and lush. Very complex midpalate but so seductive. Really gorgeous soft fruit. Wow

Unbelievable, soft mouth feel, light and still a fair bit of acid.

78 is a magical year for Lopez. Strawberries, marzipan, mushroom tea. Just downright delicious and ethereal. Double decanted.

Beautiful brick red/amber color. Red cherries, tobacco, tar, roses, leather. Opened up to reveal black cherry pits, figs, quince, cloves. Excellent acidity/smooth tannin balance, long savory finish.
