95 points James Suckling: "A really fascinating rosé with light plum, walnut and hints of toffee. Medium-to full-bodied with a light cream and cheese undertone. Unique experience. Aged and wonderful. Drink now. (11/2/20)"

94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(12.5%). It’s certainly an unusual style - how many still rosés do you know on the market with ten years of age - but this is a delight. Made with Garnacha, 30% Tempranillo and 10% Viura, it has a developed bronze colour, aromas of dried rose petal and a palate of redcurrant and wild strawberry embellished by savoury tannins. 2022-26. (2022)"

93 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "2011 is a warmer and riper year in Rioja than 2010, which was a superb vintage, and the 2011 Viña Tondonia Rosado Gran Reserva suffers when tasted next to the 2010. It has candied fruit and a much riper profile but with the classical old oak and mushroom aromas of Tondonia. The color is less bright than the 2010, and there are already some brick-going-to-brown tones. There is some lightness in the palate with moderate acidity and refreshing notes of watermelon and rose petals. 12,000 bottles were filled in April 2017. Drink: 2020-2028. (Oct 2020)"
