Harvested from over 30 year old vines, this wine fully expresses the fruit's liveliness. Fresh and fruity on the nose with aromas of cherries, fresh figs, raspberries and plums. These perfectly integrate with hints of thyme and eucalyptus in addition to subtle notes of hazelnuts, tobacco and cinnamon. The mouthfeel is fresh and balanced, with a predominance of fruit flavors.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Gorgeous floral character to the crushed stone and purple fruit. Lavender and sage, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins and a savory yet crunchy finish. Dark mushroom and fresh earth. Super length and brightness for this wine.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Ripe and fruit-forward on the nose, though more restrained on the palate, this red offers flavors of blackberry paste, dried blueberry and cranberry fruit woven through dried sage, marjoram, warmed spices and cocoa powder, backed by rich notes of fresh earth and iron. There's a creamy nappe to the texture, while fine tannins firm up the supple finish.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2020 Termes, aged 14 months in French oak (20% new). A dark garnet red in hue. The nose features violets and cherry notes along with a cedar undertone layer. Rich and taut on the palate, the tannins are softened by the calibrated acidity, releasing the sun's energy into a lasting, flavorful finish. The 2020 is a mellow Toro.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
It's creamy and spicy, round and soft, with fine-grained tannins and integrated oak, and it's rich but with the alcohol nicely integrated. This has a more commercial profile, more approachable than its siblings.
