Numanthia Toro (2016)

The Harvest of 2016 will be remembered for its deep red and black fruits aromas and its generous texture. Ripe cherry color with ruby reflections. The Numanthia 2016 is expressive and deep, with hints of red berries, smoky notes, garrigue aromas and a background of sweet spices. The attack is soft and quickly fills your palate with a great intensity. The velvety and mature tannin beautifully goes along with the generous and voluminous texture. Black fruit such as blueberries and blackcurrants, notes of violet and hints of black pepper, cloves and a tobacco leaf generate complexity and length, surrounded by a good acidity.

Suggested pairings, oven candied tomatoes with fresh Cebreiro cheese, grilled octopus and sweet potato puree, and Black Forest cake with candied cherries.

Grape: 100% Tinta de Toro

Tasting Notes

95 James Suckling
A dense, layered red with berry, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full-bodied and very luscious with power and richness, but shows some reserve and lots of polish at the end. Drink after 2023.

93 Wine Spectator
This expressive red is marked with layers of cherry coulis, tangerine, toast and anise notes supported by full, refined tannins and details of wild herb, loamy earth and mineral. Powerful and luxurious in feel. Drink now through 2031.
