Why We Love This Wine
Deep dark red with a thin layer of purple nuances, this Treasure of Toro evinces aromatic notes of small red fruits & Madagascar vanilla expertly integrated with trace notes of cigar box & milk chocolate. After airing, additional floral & aromatic herbs such as thyme, pepper, & liquorice become discernible. The entrance is smooth & silky and the mouthfeel provides a great balance of creaminess, elegance, & freshness. The fine tannins from ageing in French oak is highlighted further by hints of cherries, cranberries, & toasted cocoa beans on a smooth & long lasting finish.
