take a hot year like 2009 and combine it with a hot region like toro and what you get is this rich, ribald wine. heavy aromas of raisin and blackberry suggest maximum ripeness. a beefy, saturated palate houses dark flavors of prune, chocolate and baked plum, while the finish is dark, toasty, chewy and a pure reflection of the toro region. drink through 2018.
