El Oso y La Alemana Tinto Fino 2020
Tasting: Tinta de Toro, although Tempranillo, is generally considered a DNA variant of Tempranillo, it has smaller berries and ticker skins so makes much bigger wines than Tempranillo in the Duero valley generally does. A red of exceptional restraint, a departure from the usual big hot oaky reds of Toro. Dried wildflowers and warm cement on the nose, flavours of forest berries, blackcurrants, river stones and fresh potting soil
