Natalie's Score: 95/100

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2011 is a dry, full-bodied Rioja red wine blend of mostly Tempranillo with 20% in Garnacha and 5% each in Graciano and Mazuelo. The wine was aged up to six years in neutral oak barrels. A perfect size (375 ml) to enjoy a glass or two with mature cheeses, it is drinking beautifully now with dark plum, leather, black olive, sweet tobacco, truffle and balsamic notes vibrant on the palate and framed with rich, muscular tannins. Drink or cellar to 2033.

Food pairings: pork tenderloin, veal Porterhouse, roast chicken, prime rib roast, pork chops, veal cutlets.
