I like unoaked #Toro and #Roble Toro wines when they’ve aged in the bottle for at least 18 months. The tannins smooth out and the fruit stays strong and pure. This is an affordable and juicy #Tempranillo wine. My suggestion, look for older vintages or cellar it awhile

Tasted in Andorra on 26th December 2014. Toro DO, Tinta de Toro, made from a selection of old vines cultivated according to principles close to biodynamics. Matsu finds it's roots from Japanese meaning "hope" which corresponds to the producer's philosophy. A full-bodied wine, dark fruited with muscle and power. Concentrated and elegant. Technically well made, it lacks breed and depth to qualify for one very special but nevertheless, a very enjoyable wine. Looking for tasting the upper cuvees made from much older vines...

Extremely dark in color, this wine looks like motor oil and allows about as much light to come through it. The fruit is dark and pure on the nose, but as savory as the D.O. Toro is dry. Concrete tank aging leaves no oak impression, but the complexity does not suffer. Savory notes grace the palate as well, with blackberry and prune coming forward on a dry-as-a-bone wave. The tannins are firm and young still, and I would love to match this wine with roasted potatoes, or a juicy steak.
