"The most approachable of the reds is the 2018 Termes, which comes through as classical, with complexity and freshness and is easy to drink. It's ripe without excess, and the oak is neatly integrated after 16 months in 225- and 400-liter French oak barrels, 20% of them new. It's clean and balanced, with a soft texture and round tannins. It finishes supple and with varietal flavors. 140,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.
Bodega Numanthia has obtained the organic certification for 116 of their 200 hectares of vineyards, and their main external suppliers are already in the process of conversion to organic and have started their certification process. The LVMH winery in Toro now produces 220,000 bottles. I found the oak to be better integrated in the wines I tasted this time. They are the ultimate modern Toro examples."
