Vega de Toro Termanthia 2000   BN#134104 Varietal Tempranillo Category Red Wine Region Spain : Toro Producer Vega de Toro $179.99 Send to a friend print cellar notes A MARKET WATCH CELLAR SELECTION Wine Advocate Made from ungrafted vines planted in the second half of the 19th century. Yields were .5 tons of fruit per acre. A MAGNIFICENT effort, it possesses HUGE body, an inky/purple color & a GORGEOUS nose of creosote, creme de cassis, licorice & vanilla. Extremely large & unctuously-textured, with chocolate & espresso notes evident in the flavors, this EXTRAORDINARY efforts shows what the new frontier of wine quality, in this case Spain's Toro district, can produce when a conscientious, no compromising producer sets out to do something world-class. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring & drink over the following 15+ years. Score: 98. —Robert Parker Wine Spectator This ambitious red shows international style in its titaniumlike structure & lavish use of red oak, yet its black fruit, mineral & sanguine flavors are rooted in its terroir. It's not flashy or sweet, but it's powerful & has the balance to age well; not showing much fruit now, but give it time. Score: 94.
