Finca Lomopardo Yaso
Toro Tinto de Toro
Robert Parker...not seeing the 93. Was 10 bones at Costco, figured it's hard to go wrong. I think I was wrong though. Probably worth about $5. Slight fruity nose, mildly pleasant. Quickly turns bitter on the palate and disappears. Minor, inexpressive tannins. Blah.

Hits the palate with a sweetness followed by a little spice and a little chocolate. Seemed to lack body with absence of tannins. Maybe this just has a very short drinking window.
