Winery Review:The 2009 Alvarez de Toledo was bottled just a week before the wine was presented but seems to be showing no symptoms of distress. Balsamic, leather, and black fruits are the principal notes struck by this suave effort that over-delivers in a big way. Like its older sibling, it can be enjoyed now but will have more to say in 2-3 years.
My Review: This wine had dark fruity aromas which I was not a fan of. I did not particularly like this wine because of the presence of strong tannins and I felt like it was pretty dry for my taste. It had very strong flavors which were hard to distinguish.
