Toro Teso La Mon Almiréz 2016

Description

“Teso La Monja Almirez 2016 has open, dark plum and red currant fruit and hints of cranberry leaf on the nose, the oak is nicely integrated and plays a complementary rather than a dominant role. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, crisp acidity and a fresh yet succulent finish. It tightens towards the finish, but another two or three years in the bottle should allow it to unfurl and mellow. A delightful vintage.
