Teso La Monja 2008 Alabaster (Toro)

Country: Spain / Alabaster
Variety: Tinta de Toro Northern Spain
Winery: Teso La Monja / Toro

A dark bruiser with heavy mocha, chocolate, tobacco, cola and crusty leather aromas in addition to massive fruit scents. It’s huge in the mouth, with broad, grabby tannins, pumped-up acids and wide berry, vanilla and coconut flavors. Dark like coffee on the finish, with titanic tannins and foundation. Best from 2013 through 2016.
