Community Tasting Notes 2

  August 22, 2017 - Gago is the second wine made in Toro by Telmo Rodriguez. It is sourced from 20ha of Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grown by third parties. Fermentation is via wild yeasts in large vats, and the ageing is a mix of larger vats and smaller barriques for 14-months.
  
  This is a typical Toro-like bright ruby red in the glass. The nose is somewhat simple and also typical of the region, with bright red fruits, some red confection, and a ripe, spicy and character. With air there is also a hint of dried herbs. The palate is a bit thin and slightly green at this stage, with bitter chocolate tannins on the close. The acid is slightly too unbalanced for my tastes. I feel a little longer in bottle may still yet settle this down.

  July 29, 2016 - Ripe cherry and blackberry with stony minerals and a little orange zest on the end. Good finish. Medium bodied and crisp. Give it 20 mins or so, it's young. Good value at $17. WS gave a 91, I can see it possibly hitting that with a short cellaring. Though it's good right now, so try a bottle first.
