Country: Spain / Reserva
Variety: Tinta de Toro Northern Spain
Winery: Elias Mora / Toro
Don’t dismiss this aged Toro because it smells cheesy and leathery, and don’t give up on it when you’re hit with massive tannins. Because once this airs out and settles, you’ll have a brawny wine with earthy, loamy flavors of baked blackberry and cassis. Nine years after harvest this is still tannic, grabby and earthy as they come. Drink now through 2019.
