Teso la Monja Almirez ‘07 Toro, Spain
$23.99 btl / $273.49 cs
- save $14
"The grapes for the 2007 Almirez came
from 30-year-old ungrafted head pruned vines. The wine was aged for
12 months in one-year-old French oak. Deep crimson-colored, it
displays an expressive nose of spice box, espresso, plum, and
blackberry compote. Full-bodied on the palate with layers of savory
black fruits, lots of spice, and enough fine-grained tannin to
evolve for 1-2 years, it will drink beautifully from 2011 to 2019.
It is an excellent value that over-delivers in a big way." 91
points - Wine Advocate. Reg: $38
