Community Tasting Note

BuzzzzOff Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 11, 2023 - Part of the Vega Sicilia family of wineries, Sothebys’ ex-Bodega auction, 100% Tinto de Toro aka Tempranillo, 15%, 6 hours decant before the initial sip, approximately 15 months in 70% French and 30% USA oak, 12+ months in the bottle before release. Purplish-red on the eye…reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson on the runway 💃. Robust, olfactory-encompassing, earthy dark cherries…broad-shouldered, powerful fragrance not for the faint of👃. Medium+ bodied, ultra-dry dusty gripping tannins, blend of aged herbs and dark berries…savoury and spice and everything nice…3 glorious hours of swirling, sniffing and sipping. Pleased as punch to have several more bottles to sip over the coming decade 🕺. Korean tuna and kimchi soup, spicy stir-fried beef and boiled pork dumplings were pleased to Gangnam-style dance with Toro yumminess…cross-culture hybrid dinners at my condo (read lazy) rock 🤤
