| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 20 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by cigar52 on 1/4/2023 & rated 90 points: Give a year or two... great now, but after half hour it developed wonderfully (715 views) | | | Tasted by Swaggering Beaunie on 6/29/2022: Pleasant, with the expected black cherry flavors and aromas, accompanied by notions of milk chocolate, orange peel, aspirin, leather and tobacco. The acid and tannins were well-proportioned. Drink now. (770 views) | | | Tasted by vandal16 on 10/26/2021 & rated 91 points: Big and very bold. Aromas and flavors of blackberry and black currant. Black fruit flavors with hints of dark chocolate and some black pepper spice on the long and lingering finish. Inky purple color. (1086 views) | | | Tasted by Laz4wine on 4/8/2021 & rated 90 points: 1 of 3, nice dusty sweet oak and firm tannins, opened up with vanilla-tobacco perfume, tastes of dark plums, blackberry, cocoa, and some baking spices. Certainly no rush and may improve with time. 89 - 91+ (1276 views) | | | Tasted by DRW91 on 3/14/2021 & rated 93 points: Sehr guter Wein für den Alltag (1316 views) | | | Tasted by pbfuller7 on 8/28/2020 & rated 90 points: Bright cherry and cola on the nose on first tasting. Cherry on the palate with very grippy tannin structure and bite with some new glove leather. After hour decant, yields to smashed blackberry, cherry, jalapeño pepper, a hint of vanilla and much softer, velvety tannin. Drinkable 2020 and for several more years? (1557 views) | | | Tasted by mrmikemtr on 2/15/2020 & rated 91 points: Drinking well now but not sure $30. Cherry, vanilla, sawdust. Pop n pour. This will last 10 years easy. (2124 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 12/20/2019: So we opened another bottle of this. Didn't oxidate over three days like the first bottle we opened a few months ago did, so that's good, but it's a pretty heavy wine and just needs a lot more time to evolve/soften.
Won't open another until 2024. (2165 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 4/15/2019 & rated 80 points: Day one: Big fruit with chewy, dusty tannins gripping hard, we leave it for next day.
Day two: Pruny, oxidated nose. Tastes better than it smells but the nose is offputting and disappointing. 2026, people? I don't think so.
Ironic, isn't it, that 'descarte' means 'discard'. (2854 views) | | | Tasted by YaBoi_CarloRossi on 3/23/2019 & rated 87 points: Just discovering Toro but so far the region hasn't disappointed. A nice easy drinking bottle, not too much of a nose and soft earthy flavors. Paired great with a roast chicken but the bottle price seems a bit high for what it is. (2549 views) |

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
