Bodegas Lopez de Heredia 2012 Vina Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva 750ml

Light bright amber-hued orange. Mineral- and spice-accented red currant and cherry scents, joined by building herb and floral nuances. Shows noteworthy depth as well as energy to the bitter cherry, succulent herb, spicecake and blood orange flavors, which turn sweeter as the wine stretches out. Finishes extremely long and chewy, with resonating floral and red fruit character and a lingering suggestion of fennel. Aged for four years in neutral American oak barrels and racked twice a year.

Score: 94 points -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2019
