The 2014 Romanico is the better value of the two, with fabulous, dense blackberry and cassis fruit, with licorice, camphor and forest floor. It is dense, full-bodied, opulent, and a dazzling example of a wine made from modest yields of 31 hectoliters per hectare from their younger and middle-aged vineyards. It is 100% Tinto de Toro and their largest production cuvée. It is a sensational buy at $17.00, tasting more like a wine that costs three times that price.

This plump red offers black cherry and kirsch flavors, with sweet-tart acidity and round tannins. Cherry and cola notes linger. A fruity, modern style. Drink now through 2020. 1,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Toro Select to Add
