James Suckling 92pt

Spiced blackberries, blueberries and hazelnuts, with a balsamic twist to the nose. Full-bodied and fresh on the palate with firm, creamy tannins that dissolve into a lengthy, spicy finish. Vegan.

Wine Enthusiast 92pt

This deep garnet-colored Tinta de Toro has aromas of dried lavender, black currant and red raspberry. There are flavors of black plum, cigar box and ripe red fruits with a soft tannic backbone and a touch of saline minerality in the finish.

Tasting notes

This is a corpulent wine also having a lot of finesse, with an intense nose having notes of chocolate, black fruit and vanilla. In the mouth the taste is striking, being predominantly round and silky, very unctuous with subtle hints of the glycerine. Touches of fruit lingers in the after taste as do mineral notes. This is a full body wine yet at the same time very easy to drink.

Harvest

Manual harvest that is undergone the first 15 days of the month of October.
