Bernard Magrez of Bordeaux fame has been producing a wine in Toro since 2003 and he has a small winery in a XVI century church in the centre of Toro. The 2012 Paciencia feels very ripe with upfront fruit, hints of blackcurrants (Ribena?) and herbs; it is extremely balsamic an perfumed with some earthy notes. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a soft texture and some sweet notes, polished tannins and moderate acidity. 80,000 bottles were produced.

Firm and polished, this red delivers bright flavors of plum, currant, licorice, tar and loamy earth, with balance and energy. Lithe and expressive, with good depth. Drink now through 2022. 1,800 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Toro Select to Add
