  Directly after I opened the bottle I tried the first glass without any decant or something else. Super closed nose with only a little bit of black fruits but tons of earth. Dark earthy notes and a lot of bitterness on the palate which is really not the style I like.
  After waiting about one and a half hour the nose develops a bit and get some interesting notes of dried tobacco, like when you open a humidor (yes right a humidor :D), some spice and a bit more fruit. Still very dark and earth. Although the bitterness on the palate was a bit better integrated and some blackberry came out the palate was still very dark and earth driven.
  You should give this wine a lot of air and a decanter.
  
  An interesting wine which is not this super fruit monster from Toro which I had some before but also no 90 Points like Parker scored in my opinion.

  Red to purplish in color. Light in the mouth, really too light flavored for the oaky finish. Strawberry and a bit of grass in the nose. Red berry and bitter in the mouth. Needs more fullness of flavor and more depth.

  One word? Smooth. Maybe (almost) too smooth. Flavors were very balanced with a hint of pomegranate. Despite the image of the bull on the label, I think any foods with strong flavors or spices would have really overpowered this wine. My wife liked it more than I did. Very neutral on the tongue. It was a good wine for the price, but I'm not sure I'd say it's a great wine for a great price. Probably won't buy again only because there are others I prefer for same price.

  I hope this was flawed and not the standard for this bottle because it was vinegar both smell and taste. I poured it out after letting it breathe for hours and it not getting any better.

  Cheap. You get what you pay for, next time I will pay for something else. It has indistinct red fruit, some oak, though it tastes like soggy cheerios. "Meaty and oily" says the label. Probably, but not in a good way.
