Tinta de Toro
2002 Numanthia Termes Tinta de Toro ($22)
Clear, medium ruby fading to a pale pink rim. Clean, youthful, medium intense nose of black cherries and currants, herbs and spicy oak. Dry, with medium acidity and medium-high ripe tannins. Medium bodied with an intense palate of spicy black currant, tobacco, earth and cocoa. High alcohol with long length and a warm, complex finish. Very good quality wine made from 100% tempranillo. Enough fruit and tannins to age over the next 10 years. From Spain's Toro D.O.
Damn, this wine is $60 retail in Ohio! How many bottles can I get for $22? I would strongly suggest you back up the truck at this price!

There are two different bottlings with nearly identical names. One goes for about 24 buck, the other for about 50-60 bucks. Beware.
