Bajoz Tinta de Toro Roble (2023)
Pagos del Rey (Morales de Toro, Zamora)
The Midweek Power-Move
A deep, almost purple-black color. The nose is full of dark forest fruits (blueberries and blackberries) mixed with a distinct smoky, balsamic, and coffee-bean finish from its short time in the barrel.
⭐⭐⭐ (Toro wines are famous for high alcohol and big tannins; drink a glass of water for every glass of wine or your head will feel like a bull hit it).
Strong flavors: chorizo, heavy stews, or a very rare steak. It also stands up well to a strong blue cheese.
This wine tastes like it wants to start a fight, but in a fun way. It’s got a massive personality and a dark, brooding flavor profile. If you’re tired of "polite" wines and want something that actually tastes like the sun-baked earth of Spain, this bull-emblazoned bottle is your best friend.
