The Numanthia Toro Termanthia 2009, offers up a lavish bouquet of steeped blackberries, black cherry, anise, and aged leather. Painted with a broader brush as compared with little brother, Numanthia, it's voluptuous and expansive on the palate, with velvety fine grained tannins and a commanding personality. Mouth coating, juicy black fruit leads into spicier notes, along with a touch of heat on the finish. Tons of power and concentration in this well-crafted Toro.

lavender, blackberry, granite, and a touch of molasses. Clearly lots of love put into this. (2009 vintage)

This 2009 has an inky dark purple color and boasts an explosion of deeply layered fruits followed by vanilla, caramel, mineral and savory tobacco notes. It is full bodied and chewy, but silky at the same time. Big, but not overly extracted...super long finish.

Superb and Lucious! Dark plum, dark cherry, licorice, and tobacco aromas. Smooth and velvety with a nice finish.

Smoke, menthol, mesquite wood and persimmon nose, quite distinctive. Spicy purple and black fruit, pepper, herbs, smoke, chewy tannins on the back palate. A lot more finesse than I was expecting; still would benefit from a hearty meal.
