Pagos Del Rey Toro Tulga Joven

It's in a transitional phase, lost the primary fruits, quite closed compared to its form a year ago. Still balanced, pleasantly firm but not as charming as a young wine - rather just good than very good. Will it open up with further development? Probably, I will hold my remaining bottle for a year or so.

Massively over-delivers. This could be a good entry level red from a famous Toro producer for 7-8€, but it’s under 4€. Surprising primary freshness and great intensity. No (noticeable) oak, which is a great thing. So fruity for a Toro, with purple-black fruits and violets, yet structured and tight. Silky smooth and seamless with lots of flavour, it really tastes more expensive than it is. Purity, precision, I love this. Very good. A steal for 3,5€. https://screwcapped.com/from-weird-to-lovely-cheap-spanish-reds-from-lidl/
