Country: Spain / Carodorum Crianza
Variety: Tinta de Toro Northern Spain
Winery: Bodega Carmen Rodríguez / Toro
Ripe, earthy, granulated aromas of raisin, prune and cassis introduce a chubby palate with fierce tannins, which is the basic theme for 2013 in Toro. Flavors of blackberry, cocoa and cassis are good but restricted on the finish by rock-hard tannins. Drink or hold; this is what it is.
