Tasting note
Tinta de Toro should offer blackberry, black plum and dark cherry, with a savory hint of pepper enriching the aroma. The 2021 Vatan is expected to have a broad, firm palate, ripe fruit meeting strong tannins and enough acidity to retain a clear shape. It is listed to peak through 2027 within a window to 2030; the finish should be persistent and dry, with dark berry slowly giving way to spice and earthy notes.
