This is very classy, with fantastic length and depth and wonderfully polished tannins. It’s full-bodied, yet so long and attractive. Complex wine with dark fruit, fresh mushrooms and polished tannins. It goes on for minutes. This illustrates a new direction for Numanthia, with more class and focus.
The 2018 Numanthia, sourced from old vines in Toro, spent 18 months in French oak (60% new, 1/5 in 400-liter barrels). Garnet in hue. It exudes red fruits, plums and wild herbs on the nose, with cedar, vanilla, dried flowers and furniture wax. Dry and rich, it offers a creamy, overwhelming palate with polished tannins and a silky texture, leading to a plush, flavorful finish. This is a well-balanced and nuanced Toro.
