Professional Ratings
Wine Spectator
“Fresh and poised, with concentrated blackberry paste and black plum fruit laced with an alluring thread of anise, sandalwood, violet, thyme and tar aromatics. This is finely balanced, with fine-grained tannins emerging to firm the lingering finish. Drink now through 2031. 12,250 cases made, 8,000 cases imported.”
Highlights
Numanthia Termes Toro 2022
Ripened cherry red with ruby reflections. Clean and brilliant. On the nose there is good intensity with black fruits and spice notes bringing expression and complexity. There is a lively entrance, with medium structure and good balance. Notes of little black fruits, sweet spices such as cinnamon, a fresh touch of thyme and eucalyptus as well as a toffee and cacao background bringing complexity. The fresh and smooth tannin as well as the acidity make this wine long and expressive, fresh and elegant.
Critical Acclaim
93 James Suckling
Blackberries, crushed stones and pressed flowers on the nose. Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with firm, lightly chewy tannins and a light dark-chocolate, bark and fresh-mushroom aftertaste. Vivid fruit. Crunchy.

Rich and minerally on the nose, showing earth and iron notes that serve as accents to the ripe black plum and cassis fruit on the palate, with hints of eucalyptus and cocoa. A bold red, with fine, dense tannins tightly meshed to the detailed flavor range and lively balsamic acidity.
