  Smelled & tasted like dried mushrooms.

  Elements of Wine 2021 - My Class at GnG; 2/7/2021-12/31/2021 (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): Didn't realize this had as much age on it as it did. Lots of leathery red fruit and tobacco.

  Earthy, intense and honest showing tobacco, apple, sand and caramel notes. Low to medium acidity, medium to high tannins and long finish. Good wine. NI:3, FI:21, FC:8, B:3, L:4

  Bright raspberry nose. Full-bodied, no rough edges. Green-stick finish. Pair with some dark chocolate!

  The Tempranillos of Toro are characteristically riper and lusher than those of, say Rioja, and this fine expression is no exception. There's ripe cherry and raspberry, the fruit very much in the fore, with additional meaty and herbal notes along with dried dark fruit, a hint of chocolate and some minerality on the finish. And while there's a bit of baking spice sprinkled here and there, there isn't nearly as much obvious oak influence as in so many Riojas. Instead, there's still impressive acidity and freshness here (cutting through the ripe fruit), as well as youthful chalky tannins, and so certainly a few more years of aging potential. Add to all that impressive length and you've got a pretty impressive wine and a great value at just $19 in Ontario -- and yet more evidence of the benefits of looking to Spain's lesser-known regions for accessible quality.
