The 2014 Pago Lencia Toro Reserva opens with lots of dark fruit plus some dusty spice, cedar, licorice and just a touch of cocoa. It has just enough going on to keep things interesting.
The wine tastes smooth and a bit tannic with more dark fruit and just a touch of spice. It is a bit thin perhaps but still definitely worth the low price. And it’s still tasting quite young believe it or not.
It ends dry and grippy with decent length. This is a solid Tempranillo right here.
