98 points James Suckling: "Complex and evolved nose of candied citrus, fig, burnt orange, walnut, toast, dried tobacco and salted caramel. Medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity. Concentrated, layered and delicious with a nutty and saline finish. Phenolic and structured. Keeps going. Drink now or hold. (9/28/21)"
97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(12.5%). This superb, old-vine cuvée from one of Rioja's greatest vineyards is a marriage of Viura and 10% Malvasía that spend six years in barrel before bottling. Richly coloured and intense, it has notes of honey, oyster shell, dried fruits and fresh dough, with wonderful extract and concentration. World class. 2022-30. (2022)"
96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "2010 was one of the finest vintages in recent times, and the 2010 Viña Tondonia Blanco Reserva is the textbook fine and elegant white where the 90% Viura is complemented by the 10% Malvasía and, according to María José López de Heredia, gives a mellower profile (honey and some more creaminess) and compensates for the bitter almond notes of Viura and the austerity, making the wine a little rounder. This is a phenomenal vintage of the white Tondonia, vibrant, balanced and fresh. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2018. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jul 2022)"
