  From .375L PnP. I think this wine is not yet fully mature. However, there is already this typical understatement elegance that I like with Vina Tondonia. Will improve.

  0.375 L bottle early May 2024: Rubin red color; red berries, cedar and vanilla in the nose; fruity on the palate, well-balanced by a fine acidity; medium body.

  Tender herbal tones, earth and sillage. Wonderful freshness and earthy red berry.

  Lovely but too early. Hopefully with some age the palate will pack a punch worthy of its already-promising nose.

  This is already in a great place. Bright nose of mature cherry, pepper and wood. Balanced palate with refreshing acidity. Hints of leather and old house lend complexity to the perfectly mature fruit. The tannins are a bit drying but everything else says this wine is in its zone. A good one to drink while the deeper vintages age. This will certainly last a long while but I don't see the depth for added complexity in the future. Very nice.
