Smart man
An acquired taste M.
Bought 4, opened one tonight, ordered 3 more
. It’s more open to drink and more ripe flavours than the 04 or 01.
Similar thing happened to me 2 months ago. Purchased two, drank one, purchased two more the next day. Probably the best young Tondonia Reserva I’ve had.

Yeah I think it’s more ready to drink than the other recent vintages. Comparable to 2005 in its approachability.
