Very nice nose of plum and leather. Very prominent plum flavor on attack, but diminishes quickly. The oak appears late on the finish and detracts just a little from experience.

Great nose of plum and violet that is relatively fruity for a Tinto de Toro. A little hot on the attack and then flat in the middle. Some chocolate on finish with oak/vanilla notes late. Still some tannins. Consumed in Riedel Burgundy Sommelier glass and opened for two hours without decanting. Highlight is the nose

Kräftiger und gut ausgewogener Wein, der viel Spaß macht zu Rindfleisch und Pasta mit dunkler Sauce.

tastes like sticky buns and plums (though not at all sweet, of course of course). nice floral spicy aromas.
