Tonel Privado

This shows an astonishing amount of wood. It is like sucking on a wood plank. Also, show a touch of heat-alcohol burn on the back throat.

The fruits are floral, bright and perhaps a tad overripe. Blackberries, black raspberries, plum, dark cherries, strawberries, dark chocolate to pudding, a fair amount of wet clay, the wood is almost punishing, leather, dry tobacco, dark, rich soil with leaves, lighter spice than the Privado, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanillin, dry sage, tree bark, good acidity, red florals with violets for days. This needs to lay down another 5 year. The finish is still a astringent and needs to evolve until the earth and wood clam down.

Tonel 10 Baga 2020

Very fresh wild herbs & just picked red fruits on the nose. Wild raspberries & currants on palate, resolutely medium to medium light bodied. Low tannins yet nicely chewy. Dig the no label/only a hanging tag aesthetic. Very enjoyable, shared with friends at local restaurant/ wine bar, which had this for under 50- always a sight to behold — 3 years ago

Tonel 06 trocken Riesling 2019

Great value. German Riesling tipicity, an exuberant nose of white flowers (acacia, jasmin), a hint of honey and gas. Light bodied and Juicy acidity, most pleasant. — 2 years ago

Tonel Unico No. 111 Vistalba Malbec 1994

Luscious red and black fruit complimented by leather and tobacco. An unrestrained beast, super intense, I think this may be better in another decade or more. — 2 years ago
