DO Toro
Bodegas Frutos Villar
100 per cent Tempranillo
Dark purple in the glass.
Fresh-crushed berry fruit, spicy on the nose.
Medium weight, very juicy, raspberry, currants, cherry, quite rich, good acidity, a light bitter bite, spicy, lightly floral.
Very drying, bitter, lightly mouth-stripping on the finish.
Grows more tannic with time. If I had more bottles, I would let them rest for a while.
A lot of wine for not a lot of money, which doesn't often happen in Ontario.
Purchased at $11.95 (Canadian).
