Liqueur like. Some lightly toasted marshmallow. Preserved lemon. Medium acid. This is the Tondonia Blanco. @Delectable Wine barely managed to post after half a dozen tries, now won’t let me correct the identified wine.

Nose has oxidized pear slice, browning butter, toasted salt, candied pineapple, beeswax, toasted pistachio and dry crushed granite. Palate has dried apricot, dried lemon peel, dehydrated green apple slices, toasted ginger, un-salted cashew, (minor) tangerine juice, (minor) vanilla oak notes, yet while showing zingy acidity and a never ending finish. Weighty and light on the palate, simultaneously. Always one of our favorites in the RLdH lineup, the Blanco's will and can age for decades. This bottle should be close to the current release. 90% Viura / 10% Malvasía; Decanted 3 hours. Amazing wine...I NEED to find the Gran Reserva, but need much more of this one! A perfect wine to end cap a long weekend, Labor Day (US), or any weekend really!

So surprising. A vintage with wine with wood. With a unique aroma and a so long final
