Smokin’ good! Fresh, but complex. Will age for years. — 7 days 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. — a month ago
Wow. A big, beefy wine with tremendous structure under the heavy fruit and smoke. Viscous on the palate. Was open for hours, and kept developing. A classy wine. In Boca. — 14 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 — 2 months ago

2011 vintage. Last tasted 5.1.24 (9.3). 2011 vintage. This effort laying out a larger arsenal. 100% Tempranillo. Medium-heavy bod. Definitely brooding. Enjoying this more than the 2007 now. No rush to crush as this has staying power. 7.23.24. — 3 days ago
