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.

#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.

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
