Teso la Monja Victorino Toro 2009
Bodegas Teso la Monja 2007 Victorino (of Dominio de Eguren)
The color of this wine is very deep purple almost black. The nose is all Black fruit, cigar box , sandlewood, tinder smoke, heady underbrush and exotic spices. The mouth is very big with loads of fig paste, blackberry, tobacco, more spice and a hint of leather. Long and graceful finish.

Expert Review
92+ - "The 2007 Victorino was sourced from 45 year old vines and aged in new French oak for 18 months. A glass coating opaque purple color, it is bigger, more structured, and more concentrated than the Almirez but with slightly rustic tannins. Give it 5-7 years and drink it from 2016-2027."
