- Critic tasting note: "Black in color and concentrated on the nose, this Tinta de Toro overflows with cassis and blackberry aromas. The palate is lively and lifted, with plenty of acidity and kick. Flavors of cassis and dark berries are charged up and toasty, while chocolate notes, firm tannins and a gritty edge define the finish. Drink through 2018." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast

Vintage quality: Good

Current condition: Ready to drink

For Spain, the 2011 vintage was very good, although the growing season was not without its challenges.
