A trace balsamic, but mostly decadently ripe. Big jamball in the mouth with fair alcoholic warmth. This oozes all over in way that makes one think of South Australia.

Lots of sediments here, or a bad conditions storage or maybe its limits are very near; Probably a mix of both. Nose: dark chocolate, tar, boiled crustaceans and the sweet wood of a pastry shop. Palate: Still feeling tannins but almost tammed. I really prefer a Toro wine like this, inky, powerful, dark but mature cause when they are younger, are for a challange and older just for cooking. Very good and highly recommended but now, so drink up!
Mucho sedimento en esta botella, bien procedente de su mal almacenaje bien porque se encontraba cerca del límite de su consumo óptimo. En nariz: chocolate negro, alquitrán, crustaceos cocidos y la madera dulce de una pastelería (no encuentro otra forma de definirlo). En boca: todavía se sienten los taninos pero ya están casi domados. Realmente prefiero los vinos de Toro como este ya que más jóvenes son un auténtico desafío para la cata y más viejos corre uno el riesgo de destinarlos solamente para la cocina. Muy rico. Totalmente recomendable pero para beber ahora.

Really, really like this wine, quite special and great complexity for under $20 - Very dark, well concentrated with notes of cherry, plum, cinnamon spice and vanilla accents on the nose, excellent structure and balance, strong tannins, yet smooth on the mid-palate with great length, fabulous QPR (91 Points).

Balsamic taste, watch out with the sediments. Woody taste with spice. Low acidity and well balance
