  April 21, 2024 - Decanted 90 minutes and drank with Chili & Brown Sugar rubbed rack of lamb. Dark color. Wife guessed Syrah because it does have an initial hit of sweetness but it does fade to Tempranillo. Medium finish. Medium/full mouth feel. This one might be hard to guess in a blind tasting. Excellent QPR at $35. Cost is higher now with recent vintages. Excellent Toro if you haven’t tried this region.

  September 4, 2023 - Decanted 30 minutes but it’s not enough. My bad. It needs two hours to softer. Dark black color. This is just so tasty but a bit tannic initially. At two hour mark the wine softened and was lovely. Dark black fruits dominate. Toro is becoming a favorite Spanish wine of mine now.

  May 25, 2023 - Decanted one hour. Poured 1/2 glasses 30 minutes before dinner of grilled sweetbreads. Dark color. Nice tannins but soft. Full flavor profile of dark red fruits. Full mouthfeel. Very smooth with nice acidity & full body. Great QPR. Delicate aromas of berries. Search Spain Toro wines out before others figure it out.

  April 26, 2023 - Decanted one hour then drank over the next 45 minutes. Initially bold & full but completely approachable. Dark red fruits dominate. Medium/full mouthfeel that softened over the dinner. Excellent QPR. Sorry Collector1855 couldn’t appreciate a $35 wine like this. Spain wines are great QPR wines. Get yours before people figure it out. Big hitter Chinese won’t like this lol.
