Numanthia - Termes 2004 Toro

Deep purple/red.

Baked, clay/earth, black raspberry jam nose.

Intense and concentrated in the mouth, with the spotlight on pure, black raspberry coulis flavor. Huge tannic structure does not kill mid-palate flavor.

It would be interesting to do a vertical blind tasting of Numanthia and Termes.

Day 2 - Even more filled in on the middle-palate, borderline creamy black fruit. The baked character now showing in the mouth. Tannin takes over a bit later tonight.

Great value.
