I made notes on this and lost them. Drank this a week ago. Refer to previous Delectable note. I recall a dense full bodied wine showing black fruits. A rich Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. One of the 1001 wines.

The Torresilo is the top Cuvée from the Cillar de Silos each year. The colour is a dense Ruby. Earthy and Tar aromas - a smoky note. Blackberry, a little prune, liquorice and herbs. A full bodied red wine for sure with Medium minus acid. After a while a whiff of old tea towel - ultra savoury. One of the “1001 Wines to drink before You Die”. Good and solid, not exceptional I will have the next and last in a year or two.
