Tres Barcos Toro, Spain
What a treat! This Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) wine has early accessibility AND the ability to age very well. Dried cherry and spiced plum aromas fill the glass and are echoed throughout the flavor profile. Deep berry characteristics are well balanced by a lower, yet fresh acidity that prepares the taster for yet another sip. Pork roast, sausage and rice dishes, charcuterie, pates, and other rustic peasant fare goes great with the wines of Toro. Rustic, soft, easy drinking red.
