Hazelnuts toasty vanilla fresh baked apple pie very rich biscuit and hints of coffee. Very developed 7 people sharing a dream numanthia the name of a city that everyone burned instead of surrender phylloxera in 1910 resisted last year only 6 inches of raine temperature 110 to 5 flavors intense too much for regular technique wines to be eaten with fork and knife. 2009 wArm vintage before num very old techniques grapes used to go to ribera and Rioja. Techniques cold maceration. Tinto del toro skins thicker, denser clusters so big they can damage your palate they taste the grapes every two days to see if the grapes are ripe. Massive tannins mean you have to be very careful with the tannin extraction big tannins usually better for the palate small tannins more astringent 6% alcohol they get the skins off so they stop extracting the tannins. — 11 years ago
