Features
Intense and powerful Toro wine made of Tinta Fina 100% from vineyards aged between 13 and 70 years. Traditional elaboration including 16-month ageing in French oak barrels, a third of which are new, one third of first year and another third of more than 2 years.
A different Toro wine which, notwithstanding the strong character of its land, shows a very elegant expression.
It is recommended to aerate the wine for 3 hours approximately before serving.
Potential ageing of 2 years approximately.
Color
Very intense cherry colour, with maroon edges. Good robe. Elegant, dense and slow tears.
Nose
Powerful and complex aromas of very ripe black fruit blended with creamy notes of wood. A wide range of spices emerge slowly (tobacco, vanilla, licorice) along with good toasted and smoked notes on a good mineral background, that reminds of the wine's land. A subtle touch of sharp pepper appears over the time.
Flavour
Good, powerful and broad attack and a warm, silky, very tasty and meaty mid palate. Elegant notes of fruit well assembled with the spicy notes, the touches of balsamic, refined toasted and pleasant coffee notes. Polished and slightly sweet tannins. Good finish with a long persistence.
An elegant, intense and complex wine.
