TASTING NOTES
El Recio translates as ‘the tough guy’, and is a more serious, mature wine, made from the product of some of Toro’s oldest vines, which are cultivated using advanced biodynamic techniques.
Aged for 14 months in new French oak provide opulence and polish. Intense and opaque, this wine is a mass of deep black fruit, chocolate, roasted coffee bean and vanilla pod aromas. Voluptuous and weighty, with a firm structure, held together by silky tannins.
Drink now or keep for 2-5 years.
FOOD PAIRING
A great steak wine, which longs to be paired with rare asado-style beef fillet or sirloin.
