Press / Wine Critic's Reviews
 
2004 RECEIVED 100 POINTS FROM ROBERT PARKER!

About This Wine:

Big time point winner in vintages past (last year's Termanthia got just 97 points from Parker, the year before that, 100!), this comes from an 11-acre plot of 100-plus-year-old ungrafted vines growing at 2600 feet above sea level. Insanely low yields and barrel fermentation along with the famous "200% new oak" aging and bottling without fining or filtering. RARE!

What Does It Taste Like?

The award winning Termanthia is the ultimate expression of the best of vineyard plots in Toro with vines that over 120 years old and at an altitude of 800 meters. The hyper-concentrated fruit produces considerable aromatic complexity and shows tremendous power on the palate with plenty of fleshy roundness and as much elegance and precision as it does intensity. This is a wine that will keep very well, gaining even more complexity in bottle.

Ratings / Reviews:

Wine Spectator Magazine - 95 Points:
"This red is so thick and rich it's almost oily in texture, with exotic flavors of black fruit, game, dried herb and hoisin. Muscular tannins keep this structured, but give way to floral and graphite notes on the finish. A powerful wine with modern structure and distinctive character. Best from 2011 through 2020." -TM (June 19, 2009)

Wine Enthusiast Magazine - 95 Points and Cellar Selection:
"Termanthia is the pinnacle of Tinta de Toro. Aromas of wild blackberry, crude oil, forest floor and truffles are just now showing themselves, while the tight, tannic palate is full of black plum, blackberry and bitter chocolate flavors. Espresso and roast meat notes grace the dark, jam-packed finish, and as a whole this is one bold, boisterous wine. Best in 2011 thru 2013. Only 531 cases." (August, 2009)
