There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral-inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish

These flow to a medium-bodied

The 2001 Vina Tondonia Reserva is bridled with a lovely nose of decayed red fruit

You absolutely know what you are getting here

This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer-term cellaring

On the plus side there is outstanding intensity to the mid palate of the overtly stony middle weight flavors that culminate in a focused, clean and markedly dry finish. 2013 is a relatively powerful vintage for this normally restrained and cool wine and I particularly like the underlying tension as it invites another sip.
