I thought that this was a fantastic bottle. The first glass in late afternoon was pretty good, but it improved in the open bottle over a few hours (until suddenly I had finished the entire bottle by myself!). Not quite a 96 as advertised, but excellent, especially at this price point.

One of the bottles that really spurred me to get into wine.
Give this plenty of time to open up - I gave it about 45 minutes, and then continued to drink over the next hour. Leads of with dark cherry, then the real standout is the silky texture and spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice) and vanilla that follow. Unfortunately, I have drunk my last bottle and am having trouble finding more.

Pretty good Toro at this price point. Needs a bit of time to open up. About half an hour in: notes of wood, classic Spanish fruit, cola. Medium+ tannins. Would buy again.
