Cellared since 2017 after a visit to the winery. Opened December 26, 2023 Dark purple with black fruit and vanilla on the nose. Big, rich, Tempranillo wine with good structure and nice acid providing freshness. There is appreciable oak, and tannin which provides good upside potential for development of complexity and still greater enjoyment. Will open the next bottle in 2026. If I were to open one before then, I would give this at least 1 hour of air.

My WOTY so far. Dark and masculine, but with a nervy streak of acidity to provide balance. On the palate it shows a nicely blended melange of blackberries, brown spice, blackberry compote and even Black Forest cake. Still quite tannic, but this only provides sophistication. Comparable to other vintages (so I will rely on some of my past TNs)

Just as good as the previous bottle I drank more than a year ago. Toro at its best!! Still have some left, which can improve over the next 5-10 years (if I am patient enough)

Opened two hours before enjoying it. Entering its peak window. Tannins are tamed and balance is noticeable now. This is a domesticated Toro in a Bordeaux style. Ideal for drinking after lunch or dinner paired with nothing but water.

Consistently amazing. Bold, drinking nice now but will continue to age and mature.
