100% Tinta de Toro (= Tempranillo).

Almirez is een topwijn uit Toro

De druiven voor deze 'Almirez' zijn afkomstig van 15 tot 65 jaar oude wijnstokken en worden handmatig geoogst in de tweede week van oktober. Na de vergisting rijpt de wijn 14 maanden op Frans eiken. 

Almirez heeft tonen van zwarte bessen, caramel, koffie, mineralen, tabak en eikenhout. De tannines zijn goed geïntegreerd en de afdronk is lang en vol.
Nu prachtig op dronk op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2026 nog verder ontwikkelen. 
Uitstekende combinatie met ossehaas, Tournedos, wild, lamsvlees, pate, jamon en harde kazen.

The Wine Advocate:

"More expensive is their 2014 Almirez, which spends much longer time in oak and comes from vines 15-65 years old in slightly higher elevations. Almost Provençal, Châteauneuf Du Pape-like blood characteristics, with blackberry and cassis, full body and a long, lusty finish. Some licorice also makes an appearance in this impressively constituted wine. Drink it over the next decade."
