Toro in Spain is famous for making unusually dark and powerful Tempranillo, and this wine is black to the edge, where swirling the glass brings out a nose filling black cherry. The mouth entry is dominated by a luxuriant texture and concentrated black fruit that is a pleasure to keep swishing around the mouth. The swallow gear shifts into a wave of bright and refreshing acidity intertwined with firm and drying tannin, dispelling any thought that the wine is flabby or overripe. A superbly good value aging beautifully and worthy of storing longer.

Still a really deep and beautiful wine, even at 15 years old.

Best on second night. Very dark and brooding, as I expected it would be.
