Community Tasting Note

StefanAkiko Likes this wine:

Friday, January 28, 2022 - This is a coarse wine with a good dollop of tannins. Like a medieval brute trying for a balerina. We love it!
The opposite of Bojo!

Black red with the slightest bricking.
Nose is of coffee, old earth, American oak, some herbal components, very dark chocolate and tiny oxidization.
In the mouth this is a harsh tannic beast, but in the most favourable of ways. Started out sillily thin, but started carrying itself well already within the hour. Tannins are crude. Acidity bang on medium. Wine from warm origins without being from a hot place. Intensity and depth.

Actually tastes "Spanish", but I doubt I would have come anywhere near Toro in a blind tasting.

Preferred with food, not as a Sprechenwein.
