Wine Shop Review: "The 2009 Alvarez de Toledo was bottled just a week before the wine was presented but seems to be showing no symptoms of distress. Balsamic, leather, and black fruits are the principal notes struck by this suave effort that over-delivers in a big way. Like its older sibling, it can be enjoyed now but will have more to say in 2-3 years.”
My Review: This wine smelled dry and acidic to me, promising a taste to math. I wasn't wrong, as it had a dry taste with dark fruit, blackberry and a pleasant black currant. The finish was very nice, smooth on the throat.
I had this wine alone without food.
