1999 TINTA DE TORO "VALPICULATA"
Venialbo (Zamora)
Wine coming from vineyards of over 100 years. Good dark purple with depth. Exotic nose with spice aromas suggesting pepper, cummin and hessian over a solid base of black fruits especially black berries. In the mouth the wine is immediately soft and rounded with easy ripe tannins giving structure and weight. Flavours of eucalyptus and menthol mingle with a hint of tar and the concentrated rich power of a deep fruit. A long persistent finish is accompanies once again by the initial spice aromas of the nose. A piece of Art...Paul Shinnie (wine expert)
