  August 13, 2023 - Well made bottle of Toro, lots of oak on the nose, coffee and plum, bit of violets in the mix.
  Bone dry wine, with fine tannins, slight earthy character mixed with a hint of chocolate and vanilla, a bit of cherry on a medium length finish.
  Not a big fan of this style anymore, also the 15.5% alcohol is a bit over the top...really a steak wine.

  June 12, 2023 - took three hours to open, but when it did it was wonderful. The fruit is diminished but the balance continues to be strong. Lots of leather, tobacco, fine tannin, iron and earth complement the dark fruits and plum notes.

  April 15, 2023 - From magnum, decanted for one hour. This is in the right spot age wise. The grip is still there but the coating of wood and tanin is smooth and supple. Upfront dark cherry turns into forest floor and sous bois. Medium finish with licorice and tar.

  February 12, 2023 - From 1.5L - PnP. Enjoyable combination of dusty dark fruit and tobacco, with notes of balsamic, leather, & smoke. Tannins are nearly resolved with a pleasant, medium long finish.
