Abelis Carthago 2004 Fighting Bulls (Toro)

Country: Spain / Fighting Bulls
Variety: Tinta de Toro Northern Spain
Winery: Abelis Carthago / Toro

Abelis Carthago’s top wine, Fighting Bulls, is also its toughest to enjoy. There’s overripeness and barnyard on the nose, and thus the prune, black plum and jammy berry flavors that control the palate are not surprising. Big and forceful for sure, but also choppy and incongruent across the palate.
