similar to my last note: dark red - exuberant fruit nose as before - more reserved in the mouth than a earlier bottles, but full bodied with excellent balance and a long 15-20 sec finish - a very good example of a mature Toro that shows all of the power of Toro wines but with added finesse and complexity that comes with age - IMO, most drink these wines too young

dark deep red - no sign of age - explosive nose of bright red fruit - blackberries, casis and ripe plumbs - rich full fruit mouth - great acid-fruit balance with moderately soft tannins - very very long finish - for a 16-yearold wine this is incredibly fruit driven and rich - not very much complexity, but this wine has another 10-20 years of aging to go - one of the most impressive Toros I've had to date
