Description
"Rich, almost chewy red with plum, dark berry, chocolate/mocha, liquorice and a strong influence of American oak. A 'crowd pleasing' style with sweet fruit balanced by fine, ripe tannins. Should develop well in bottle" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2018
Intense and opaque, this wine is a mass of deep black fruit, chocolate, roasted coffee bean and vanilla pod aromas. Voluptuous and weighty, with a firm structure, held together by silky tannins.
This is a corpulent wine also having a lot of finesse, with an intense nose having notes of chocolate, black fruits and vanilla. In the mouth the taste is striking, being predominantly round and silky, very unctuous with subtle hints of the glycerine. Touches of fruits linger in the after taste as do mineral notes. This is a full body wine yet at the same time very easy to drink.
Toro’s wines have always been noted for the enormous strength and personality of the Tinta de Toro, a variety from which Raul Acha, Vintae´s winemaker, also had the intention of extracting an elegance and smoothness that would open these wines to a wider audience. Matsu is the Japanese word for 'wait', and the winery's philosophy is one of patience and environmental harmony. El Recio translates as 'the tough guy', and is a more serious, mature wine, made from the product of some of Toro's oldest vines (90-100 years old), which are cultivated using advanced biodynamic techniques. 14 months in new French oak provide opulence and polish.
Food Pairing: A great steak wine, which longs to be paired with rare asado-style beef fillet or sirloin.
