First Night, the wine was not in balance, to much acidity, second night much better, everthing find together and the wine start to show its potential. Would wait two more years before open next bottle. Now 89pt but potential for 1 oder 2 more points.

Crimson. A bit tight nose with blue and black fruit, later pencil shavings, on the palate especially black cherry notes. Accessible with a tannic backbone, but smooth and round far from being tannic. Not meant for the long track, I guess. The 92 points from Gutiérrez (TWA) are a bit high for me (drinking window -2026). It is not because of the intensity, but more because of the lack of elegance. Somewhat disappointing, but far from being average. 5/11/16/8. -2028

Cellartracker in the flesh with Tomas and Atsushi (Maru-Miyataya, Hatchobori, Tokyo): Dark berries with a little concentrated jammy strawberry and raspberry in support, slight vanilla and very slightly baked earth notes. Juicy acidity, drying grape and wood tannins, fruit profile as per the nose. Young, slight non-intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish, gets a little more raisined over the course of consumption

Almirez muy joven serio y recibo con un secante dinámico. Fruta y madera. Mejor será esperar otros preceptivos diez años. Como malgastar una buena botella de Toro.

Old Glories & New Spots by the Sea; 9/9/2022-9/11/2022 (Alicante - España): Newly bottle. Almirez very young, serious and receive with a dynamic secant. Fruit and wood. Better to wait another mandatory ten years. How to waste a good bottle from Toro.
