2009 Bodega Numanthia Toro Numanthia

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Monday, January 8, 2024 - Cork destroyed on approach. Recovery involved a sieve and a muslin. Wine poured dark, thick and mercifully, clear. Extravagant nose, room filling. Dark plums and bright cherry, wood, leather and wardrobe. Did I mention thick? Mouth is rich, coating and persistent. I’m getting more secondary and tertiary than fruit but what there is is black and slightly caramelised. It’s got a lot going on, meat, polish, leather, eucalypt and herb. In comparison I’d point at CNdP, Brunello, Musar and Priorat. This is not a small wine but it repays your time. Good with food and a sipper on the sofa.
