Dark garnet with black purple core. Black cranberry and baseball bat on the abundant nose. Echoed on the medium full palate which adds slightly graphite-y currant and a hint of vanilla. Dusty, medium plus tannins from entry to medium, slightly hot finish (15% alcohol doesn't assert until the end). Surprisingly this $19 Tinta de Toro (aka, Tempranillo) may need some time to settle. Quality and craftsmanship are quite evident, but some time night be beneficial. Drink from 2025.

Strangely sweet for a Tempranillo. Beautiful garnet color, very ripe dark fruit flavor. Growing on me.
