El Viejo Tempranillo

2011 vintage
Неэкспрессивный смазанный нос с обожженным дубом и сухими ягодами. Вкус насыщенный: смородина, черноплодная рябина, спелая черешня, горький шоколад, лакрица. Танины еще суховаты. Свежесть и естественность мерцают проблесками, но зажаты бочкой. Изящество принесено в жертву мощи.

2009 Vintage

#toro #tempranillo love the nose, cedar rhubarb and blackberries. Less depth and color than I would expect from Toro. Slightly scratchy texture, fine and long finish. Excellent quality.

コロナ禍前のスイス出張帰り、トランジットのヘルシンキで飛行機が遅れ、空港内で使える€50のお詫びチケットで買ったスペインの赤、2016年もの。€38.2だったみたい。けっこう高いやつ。ラベルのMATSUは日本語の「待つ」らしく、このお爺さんのほかに若者とおじさんラベルがあります。ジジイなのにまだ若々しいのですが、パワフルかつお上品でたいへん美味しゅうございました。

お供はセブンのビーフシチュー。噂に違わずこれもまいうーです。

Sept 24, 2021. Purchased in Madrid at Madrid & Darracott wineshop (a must visit if you are in Madrid). I was intrigued by the label. They have 3 wines with photos of men of different ages on the label, denoting the aging of the wine. Genius. Of course i purchased the old man. 🤣🤣🤣 Lovely Tinto de Toro. Would probably age very well, but I couldn’t wait. Lots of stewed fruit. Tannins and acidity. Wish I had another bottle to open in a couple years. Definitely decant!

Definitely needs time to decant and simmer down; then - boom!

A bit too "present" for me. I prefer their mid level wine
