R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1970
Don Rafael Lopez de Heredia acquired Vina Tondonia from a group of clergy in 1913. The Tondonia vineyard stretches over 247 acres, situated on the right bank of the river Ebro, in Rioja Alta. Soil is alluvial clay with a high proportion of limestone. There are 4 varieties of red grapes planted in this vineyard: Tempranillo, Mazuelo, Graciano and Garnacho. The Tondonia vineyard is the most famous of the winery. Over 100 hectares, it is situated in a shell-shaped depression on the right bank of the river Ebro, where the most classic Rioja wines are grown. Grapes from Vina Tondonia are always used in making their highest quality wines, with truly exceptional vintages becoming Gran Reservas.

Incredibly powerful and dense. Very long finish. Seemed fresher than the 81 in the next glass.
