The 2010 Arco del Reloj is quite similar to the 2011, if marginally fresher, but unfortunately the tannins completely dominate the wine. I’m not sure this is going to improve with time, so I’d opt for drinking it soon with a powerful stew or something similar. Drink now.
Covitoro, the Cooperative of Toro, is the largest producer in the appellation, with 1.5 million bottles produced per year from the 900 hectares of vineyards belonging to its 188 members. I found inconsistency in some of the wines tasted, and some of them could not be recommended.
