Opaque dense purple ruby red. Gloriously ripe aromas of red

and fine oak. On the palate, a superb texture, full bodied
opulence, compact fleshy dark black berry fruits are very
well integrated with minerals, herbs, black pepper, firm sweet
oak tannins - a great structure, persistence and appropriate
acidity. A wine of extraordinary elegance and character revealing
the subtle complexity of Toro’s terroir. Decanting is
recommended.
