The Vino Police have been given some free wine!
As featured  in the Vino Police blog a kind review of one of our wines The Monte Toro, Toro Crianza 2007
Like any good wine enthusiast free wine is one of my favourite kinds so naturally I was excited to win Just Great Wine’s online competition recently.
I was delighted when my bottle of Monte Toro 2007 arrived at the door and I promised Martin and Andrew a review, well…
Spanish red wine review Monte Toro Crianza 2007
Monte Toro, Toro Crianza 2007
This is a powerful tempranillo from the Castilla y León region of Spain. It was surprisingly lively on the nose with spicy fruit and liquorice aromas. On the palate it was quite tannic up front with a smokiness that carried through. I picked up abundant black cherry and coffee notes. The fruit was bright and there was an almost prickly sensation on the tongue. There was also a distinctly herbaceous, medicinal streak running through this redolent a hot climate. This wine has the strength of character to match robust cooking with red meat seeming the obvious match. Thank you guys! – Martin Naylor “
