Winery review:
91 Points – Robert Parker
“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:
I liked this wine because it had sweet smells and light cherry aromas. The sour taste and light tannins of the wine we not that enjoyable so I do not think I would have this wine again.

Food or no food:
I didn't have this wine with food.
