Telmo Rodríguez 2006 Gago (Toro)

Country: Spain / Gago
Variety: Red Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Telmo Rodríguez / Toro

Tough, earthy berry aromas provide a fierce outlook. The palate answers the call, showing syrupy richness amid piercing tannins. Flavors of baked black fruits yield to molasses on the short, stout finish. Tannic and solid, but very sweet. Could it use a bit more balance perhaps?
