Jumping down a few vintages, the 2012 Temple wants to be a more modern expression of Toro, pure Tinta de Toro fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for one year. It's quite spicy, denoting a riper and warmer year, when it was also very dry, and the wines tend to be more concentrated. The range is quite approachable with a commercial profile, combining fruit and oak in good doses. 40,000 bottles produced.
