Tasting them colder than that will just difficult the tasting as they need to open so we can perceive their aroma, their evolution in the mouth and so on. So, please pay attention to the Celsius, especially when the wine is good.

This red wine from Toro is very impressive! This opaque and onyx colored wine opens with a black licorice bouquet with a hint of blackberry. ...

El Picaro means the cheeky one or the rascal, and the wine reflects its name. A young wine with 6 weeks in French oak to round it out a little, it's made from 90 year old Tinta de Toro ( Tempranillo) vines. Fermented in temperature controlled large format concrete tanks, to retain freshness and vibrancy. It [...]

…proposta, não faz feio. É besteira querer comparar com outros vinhos mais caros e superiores, o Toro loco vai perder, mas se você pensar que é um vinho básico, para o seu dia-a-dia, ele tem seu valor: bem feito, redondo, final um pouco curto, mas que vai agradar muita gente que comprou e que não tem hábito de beber vinho com regularidade. Na sequência abrimos um Syrah do Limari do projeto Terroir Hunters que estava muito bom, (o meu Syrah favorito desta linha) dentro da consistência …

I know that I'm going to surprise you with my choices of designations of origin for 2012 . The news is that I have knocked out two of my favorites: DO Ribera del Duero and DO Toro, to include others, it is quite a step. The reason is that I do not want to be so repetitive and that tasting new wines is always fun.
The first on this podium is the DOCA Rioja , which gives us so much satisfaction when we are outside Spain, as it is the easiest to find …

Tasting notes:
Spicy berries and chocolate on the rich nose
Full bodied and plush on the palate
Berries, licorice, and coffee on the moderately tannic finish
Summary:
Year after year, this is a big, flavorful wine. From the Toro region of Spain, it's made from Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto Toro). The 2008 edition is powerful and nicely layered as well as being a bit more tannic than some prior years. Enjoy now after decanting or allow it to cellar for a few years. At $ 26, it's a good buy. Raise a glass!

…Bierzo in the North West, to the underappreciated Navarra and Toro to name but a few.
There was such a broad array of wines, some newly discovered and old favourites from many different vintages including some of the very best in recent memory, namely 1994, 1995, 2001, 2004 and 2005. The evening was very well attended, a sell-out, and in almost every instance the wines were shown by a representative from the winery, generally the winemakers. Very good of them to take the time and effort …
