The Lopez 1987 Vina Tondonia Reserva was a classic, old oak Rioja with a cuban scent, mouth filling flavour and a long rich aftertaste. The colour is looking a little pale, due to the grape varieties. It did not taste nearly as well five years ago. It should go on for another ten years, when my small stash will be gone. Purchased for $25 from LCBO Classics catalogue in '94. 18/20

Chateau de Nerthe '95 is a classic old style Chateauneuf de Pape, using most of the allowed grapes, but dominated by Syrah, Mouvedre, Cinsault, and Grenache.

It had a deep woods floral nose, full flavoured astringency, and good aftertaste.

Excllent with Provencal cuisine. Purchased for $29 from LCBO Vintages in 1998.

18/20
