Complex and poised, this is a modern yet classical Toro, bridging the past and future of the appellation. The sweetness of American oak is well measured, enveloping the core of juicy black fruit (black cherries, plum, ripe blackberries) and the firm tannic structure. Lingering touches of allspice, fresh tobacco leaves and cocoa nibs. Enjoy with game and truffle-based dishes.
