Not at all like other Toro's I've had, but still a nice pour. This has gained a lot with time in the cellar, and most closely resembles a nice California cab at this point, with nice pure fruits with a strong oak backing. Wish I had more.

Wasn't expecting much for $10, but was pleasantly surprised. First night was somewhat closed. Tannins were front and center, with muted fruits hiding behind. However it had nice body and the finish was unexpectedly long and enjoyable. Second night was a revelation: tannins still present but now in balance with the dark fruits and cedar, and the finish still long. My first Toro and based on this, I will be trying others.

Very good and had with a group that really enjoyed
Nice black color and nice aroma
Did not have food and would have gone nice with a steak or pasta

Qualifies as the most generic Toro that I have ever had. And over at $16 to boot.

One of the least gutsy Toros I have ever had. Really plain.
