San Roman Toro - 2021 (750ml)

94 points Robert Parker

The very classical 2021 San Román showcases the house style of ripe, concentrated and generously oaked reds made from Tempranillo (or Tinta de Toro) grapes but with the balance and poise to develop and integrate the oak with time in bottle. Furthermore, 2021 was a great vintage in the zone for them—cooler, with adequate rain and excellent balance between acidity, alcohol (14.5%) and structure. It matured in French oak barrels of different sizes and aged for 24 months. It has notes of black fruit, hints of graphite, licorice and ink and a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine, elegant and polished tannins. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023.

94 points Wine Spectator

A rich, stylish red, with lavish notes of oak spice, vanilla and medicinal herbs and spices accenting glossy black cherry, blueberry and blackberry paste fruit flavors. Though there's a flamboyant edge, this is focused and well-structured, with integrated, fine-grained tannins and lively tangerine peel acidity. The long, expressive finish echoes the generous profile. Best from 2026 through 2036. 10,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.
