Product Description: 91 Points – Robert Parker
“The 2009 Alvarez de Toledo was bottled just a week before the wine was presented but seems to be showing no symptoms of distress. Balsamic, leather, and black fruits are the principal notes struck by this suave effort that over-delivers in a big way. Like its older sibling, it can be enjoyed now but will have more to say in 2-3 years.”
My Review: This wine was the first that I could distinctly taste leather hints. It smelled slightly fruity and earthy. The taste was of dark cheery and worn leather. It was smooth on the mouth and surprisingly very good.
