Ripe cherry-red in colour, with black fruit, spice, vanilla, clove, liquorice, pepper, cocoa and toast. The palate is juicy and fleshy, with abundant fruit and a persistent finish recalling macerated fruit. Tinta de Toro was hand-harvested from a low-yield vineyard planted in the early twentieth century. Fermentation took place in concrete, followed by fifteen months in French oak, without filtration or clarification.
