Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of plum, dark cherry, licorice, coffee, dry earth, soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is high. Hmmm…

Initial conclusions: this could be a Grenache based blend, Tempranillo based blend, Merlot based blend or Malbec from France, Spain, the United States or Argentina. This didn’t stain as much as I would like for Malbec or Merlot and I don’t detect any pyrazines. Yet, it stained more than I would like for Grenache and the florals were all wrong besides. I kinda like this being Tempranillo but the oak seems French; neutral or larger format so I don’t like this from Rioja. I’m calling this Tempranillo from Spain, Toro, 2020. Lol, wow. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes. Drink now through 2035. — 7 days ago

Jan 2026: PnP, picks up air and ready in 10 min in the glass. Black fruit, coffee, fine tannins, a brunello on the elegant side. Nice, but oak seems a bit too much so that somewhat dominates over classic brunello palate — 4 years ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, spice and toasty notes, aged for 14 months in oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with licorice, cacao and spicy oak notes. Balanced acidity, fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. — 3 months ago
