Peaking right now, don’t wait: amber bricking on edge, black & red fruit - deep reservoir of ripe intense aromas & flavors, baking spices, worn leather, licorice, mineral - so expressive, massive on palate, beautifully balanced, tamed from so many years in bottle. Perfect accompaniment to my Saturday night T-Bone — 18 days ago

Solid vintage of this consistent Chianti. Dark ruby color with some garnet inflections. Aromas of dark berries, violets, baking spices and toasty oak. Blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors with hints of menthol, dark chocolate, dried beef and dried herbs. Long finish. Medium-plus bodied with plenty of structure and intensity. Bright acidity and moderate (but well balanced) tannins. Solid! — a month ago

Did not know Vega Sicilia made a Toro! This is brooding and dark but unexpectedly lithe and refreshing too. The iron, tar and stone are shot through with fresh berries and mocha. Would be excellent with any smoked, spice rubbed meat — 4 months ago

Pale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and dried leaves on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like hibiscus, strawberries, and wet gravel with a long finish. Nellie doesn't like it, but I do. — 13 days ago

Steak dinner and big enough to hold up. Not exactly bold, but good rich wine. — 21 days ago

Has a soft floral fragrance with notes of dark berries!
Drinks quite strongly and is intense right out of the gates. However, it does mellow out a bit…but still retains robust flavors of spice, dark fruit and tobacco leaf. — a month ago

Needs a few more years to really soften, but an amazing and unique Cabernet - notes of cassis / currants, cedar, baking spices and pepper — 2 months ago
