Winery Review: The 2009 Alvarez de Toledo was bottled just a week before the wine was presented but seems to be showing no symptoms of distress. Balsamic, leather, and black fruits are the principal notes struck by this suave effort that over-delivers in a big way. Like its older sibling, it can be enjoyed now but will have more to say in 2-3 years.
My Review: This wine is absolutely delicious. It is bitter in comparison with the rest of the wine tasted today. The wine is flavorful with its herbal and earthy ingredients. This wine has medium to strong tannins.
I did not consume any food with this wine.
