Wow. Nearly perfect Rioja at 17 years. — a month ago
This wine has a medium-dark ruby color. The first thing I notice is the oak. It seems very oaky, despite only six months in wood. The nose offers a smokey note, which I always like to find. There are aromas of ripe cherries, berries and plums. Those fruits also appear on the palate, where oak again dominates. The tannins are firm, but not overpowering. The mouthfeel is rich and full. I had mine with a brisket sandwich and it paired very well. — 9 days ago

Initially gave a blast of bright red fruit and vanilla. 2 hours later, it had really hit its stride with the cherry melting into leather and long tannins. Excellent Toro value — 22 days ago

Reliably fun and good Spanish red. Paired with a few Spanish cheeses and it elevated what was already a very good wine. Balanced and subtle. Musky fruit is there but not in your face and it’s such a smooth wine. — 9 days ago
