teso la monja is the new toro winery from the eguren family of rioja fame (former owners of numanthia-termes in toro), and it's proof that no beat has been missed since they sold out to moët hennessy. expect dark, intense black fruit aromas and flavors mixed with heat, tannin, cola and spice. some oak creeps out on the finish, but overall this is a lovely, bullish toro. drink now through 2014.
