Celsus 2021

A very delicate example of Toro. Although lacking nothing in concentration, the wine is refined and refreshing with a bright, chalky lift. The nose offers bright red cherry fruit and rose petals, perhaps a reflection of the touch of Garnacha in this blend, while mountain herbs and fresh mint add complexity. The wine is very approachable now, but is equally built for the long haul.

Lovely perfumey depth here, showing plenty of dark cherries, dried flowers and spices. Full-bodied and tight on the palate with dense, fine-grained tannins, and a broad and juicy finish. Rich, fruity and structured. 100% tinta de toro. Better in 2024. (Zekun Shuai)
