Winemaker's Notes:

Produced starting from vines of varietals Tinta de Toro planted 80 years ago in the property El Palo and bottled after aged for a period of 15 months in new oak barrels. Store and serve at temperature of around 59to 63 F.

This is traditionl done right. Cement fermenters, a mix of new and used barrels and very low yields. Super cncentrated and complex with black fruits, spice and a long, dense mouthcoating finish.

Reviews:

90 Points.
This firm, focused red shows blackberry, espresso, mineral and floral notes, with structured but not overbearing tannins. Light earthy and spicy notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 850 cases made.
