Toro Numanthia 2009 Numanthia

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

The 2009 Numanthia comes from La Jara, El Pego and Vanialbo from 60- to 100-year-old vines and it is matured for 21 months in new French oak. It has a rounded, generous bouquet of raspberry coulis, wild strawberry and vanilla pod that is well-defined and not over-powering. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, elegant entry. The tannins are quite fine and lend the 2009 exceptional symmetry and focus. There is a dash of white pepper and graphite underpinning the dark berry fruit, with good structure towards the opulent, hedonistic and ebullient finish.

Winespectator (92)

Alluring floral and spicy aromas give way to ripe cherry and roasted espresso flavors in this sleek, modern red. The tannins are formidable but well-integrated, brightened by lively acidity. The wine shows depth and persistence.
