Note di degustazione
Very dark crimson. I smell oak. I smell Bovril (meat extract). I taste sugar. Do I taste fermented grape juice? Not sure. Quite painful to taste. This is a super-exaggerated wine. Tastes far more potent than 14.5%. Macerated black berries and acid. Fades very fast however massive the impact is upfront. (JR)

Opaque violet color. Pungent, oak-spiced aromas of cherry compote, blackberry and flowers, with a smoky overlay. Lush and creamy in texture, with very good depth to its dark fruit and vanilla flavors. Supple tannins come on late and add grip to the long, smoky finish. This sexy wine will be drinkable on the young side.
The 2008 Numanthia spent 18 months in new French oak. It sports an inviting nose of pain grille, graphite, Asian spices, licorice, lavender, and blackberry. In the glass it reveals its voluptuous proportions, savory flavors, and outstanding volume. Give this lengthy Toro 5-7 years of cellaring and enjoy it from 2017 to 2028. The new releases of Numanthia-Termes are outstanding. Importer: LVMH; www.lvmh.com
