Teso La Monja 'Romanico' 2015, Toro, Spain

Ripe, full-bodied, and concentrated, this 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) cuvee offers terrific depth and purity and punches well above its humble price point. Drink it over the coming 3-4 years.

2015 Romanico doesn’t skimp on fruit and boasts a big, sexy nose of blackberry and cassis-like fruit to go with more graphite, scorched earth, and licorice aromas and flavors. Romanico is the entry-level wine from Bodegas Teso La Monja. It is expressive, direct, and accessible, while still representing the varietal character of Tinta de Toro and the unique terroir of D.O. Toro. One of the finest values from D.O. Toro.
