Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2011 was a warmer and riper year, but there's not a huge difference between the 2011 Viña Bosconia Reserva and the 2010; this is perhaps mellower, with more integrated acidity. It's 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.3 and 6.7 grams of acidity measured in tartaric acid per liter, and it fermented in the 144-year-old oak vats and matured in used American oak barrels for five years. 88,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2018.

Description
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a red wine produced by Bodega López de Heredia Viña Tondonia in the D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It is a blend of the four grape varieties Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo.
The grapes come from a low-yielding vineyard on the Viña Tondonia estate in La Rioja. This estate covers 100 hectares and is considered one of the most spectacular estates in Haro, made up of alluvial deposits, limestone and poplar trees.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand. Viña Tondonia Reserva is aged for 6 years in oak barrels from the winery's own cooperage, and undergoes 2 rackings per year.
Subsequently, the wine is clarified with fresh egg from the estate, and bottled unfiltered. After that, the wine spends at least 6 months in the bottle before being released onto the market.
Taste
Viña Tondonia Reserva is very fine and fresh. In the mouth it is dry, smooth and round, with good acidity. It is well structured and has a persistent finish.
A great wine representative of the classic Rioja style.
Viña Tondonia Reserva is a great example of an elegant classic Rioja wine. It is a high quality wine, easy to drink, and has its own identity.
In the gastronomic area it is the perfect accompaniment for meals such as potatoes with chorizo, curry dishes, roast lamb, lamb with fine herbs, ham, truffled rice dishes, cold meats, chocolate...
