meaty, cuddly and kind is the best way to describe this big-boned, ultra ripe toro. what makes it great is the price ($20 is a steal for this) and the complete lack of fierceness. it's easygoing but complex, with pulsing blackberry, plum and chocolate flavors. with modest but measurable tannins, it should age nicely for at least five years and maybe more, making it a bargain hunter's dream.
