Lopez de Heredia Rioja Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia 1973 carneros was not typicalWine Advocate Notes: "The 1973 Vina Tondonia Blanco Gran Reserva is so sublime, so complete and natural that it may bring tears to the eyes. It has a complex bouquet of beeswax, lanolin, lemon curd and almond that is effortlessly combined. The palate is nigh perfectly balanced with very good weight. It has a seamless waxy texture and a peacocks tail of almond, creme brulee, marzipan and dried apricot. There is a beguiling sense of completeness here.
