Marqués de Toro Single Vineyard Mencía 2021

Aromas of crumbled thyme and marjoram, wild berries and mocha pave the way for flavors of cherry preserves, blackberry pie, black-olive paste, aniseed and dark chocolate. Tannins feel grippy at first sip but drop away to reveal a slightly savory finish. Score – 92. (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2023)
