Dark ruby to the eye, this wine offers a bouquet of Mission fig and chocolate-covered caramel. Made with Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) from vines with more than 100 years of age, its lush tannins and a sense of earthiness are the first things one notices. Flavors of dark chocolate, cassis, cherry cola and black truffle are infused with a touch of acidity that livens the palate. It's beautiful right now, but this is one to lay down and visit in a few more years. Drink 2026–2036.

This is a powerful and cooly tannic old-vine red from Toro. It’s full-bodied and focused with lots of density, yet it remains polished and very long. Moss and wet earth. Rather endless. You can taste the earth of Toro. All the vines are 120 years old, some even 200 years old. Drinkable now, but better in 2028.

The 2016 Termanthia, sourced from XIX-century vineyard plots, spent 22 months in new French oak barrels, 90% of which were new. This deep garnet red offers enticing dried flower, blackberry, balsamic, wild herb and grapefruit aromas, complemented by a cedar backdrop. Dry and rich, the palate reveals a light corset-like tannin structure that provides balance and complexity. This is a nuanced Toro wine with a long-lasting finish.
