Hearty fruits and savory aromatics reminding me of meat hashmarks. Over a couple of hours this starts to get earthier, showing some tar but the texture gets juicy.
May not wow anyone if sipped alone, so throw some nice marbled meat on the grill.

Overextracted Toro, muted black fruits and leather on the nose, hot and unsettled with rough edge on the palate. Not impressed. Maybe a few more years could help.

The 89-90 aggregate score listed here is very fair. I would give it a 90-91 score but I suspect I am nitpicking -- mainly b/c I tend to embrace the wines from the Iberian peninsula. So, I like to think I am a fair, knowledgable judge. Grab this one. Particularly if you can steal it for under $15. Still enjoying the second day.

20 minute decant (small amount of sediment) Better than last tasting 3 years ago. Very good overall and good value at $18 CAD.

Absolutely calls for some beef!

Dark color, dried cranberries and some vanilla and smoke.
