Once again, I tasted the 2014 Termanthia, a selection from 120-year-old ungrafted vines that is heady, ripe and powerful, voluptuous and juicy, with lots of concentration, tannins and everything else, powerful and ripe, impressive and showy. It's teeth-staining dark, with abundant tannins, a round, lush texture and gobs and gobs of fruit. It seems to be evolving very slowly, and the tannins still need some powerful food. 8,500 bottles and 250 magnums were filled in June 2016.

This generous yet refined red shows a flashy, polished texture and supports expressive layers of blackberry, espresso, oak spice, wild herb and loamy earth flavors. This is muscular and well crafted, with elements of anise, red plum and rose petal fine tuning the finish. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–GS??Region: Spain / Toro Select to Add
