Reserva Toro Loco Barrica Red Blend
Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain
This is another Aldi find. It was around $10 a bottle and not a bad match for a cheap and cheerful pasta dinner on the floor (PS: hurry up Kent Removals - I want our furniture and stuff to arrive!!).
What I found interesting is that it’s a blend of Tempranillo, Bobal, Merlot and Shiraz.
It’s a purple-y red colour on the eye. The nose is full of candied fruits and vanilla while in the kisser it’s fruity and juicy with flavours of cherries and plums. I think we both enjoyed this one slightly more than the Argentinian one a few notes back.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes

Just needs a bit warming up and it's very pleasant and smooth

Oct 4th, 2019A step above the Toro Loco we know and love as an every day table wine.
Tried again in the winter and not as good... better as a warm weather wine.
