Was in Copenhagen for business and a wine store near that university had To ndonia red reserva 2001 and gravonia white 2004. I got one of each for a gi ft card I got for answering questions in a survey. Had the white yesterday and today:
I've had the Tondonia Gran Reserva 1976 and that was absolutely fantastic. I've also recently had Kistler Chardonnay Les Noisettes. This one is like a teaser for that kind of "white wine for redwine drinkers", but for a fract ion of the price. A quite tannic, astringent white wine, with lots of flavo ur, nuts, mineral, wood, good mount of acid, no fruit juice here. But this one cuts the finish short, and at times kinda metallic finish. With food th at went away. The colour is quite yellow, I'd expect some butterscotch, but that was lacking. I found it quite watery on the first day, but the second day it was really good. Im tempted to say it was overpriced. It was 20E he re. but then again I cant think of a white with teasing of a great wine tha t's cheaper. I recommend looking for the tondonia reserve for a better rese mblance of greatness. But if that is not to be found, this will do.
