Dark fruit surges from the glass of 2013 Numanthia Termanthia Toro, with dense black plum, cherry liqueur and currant wrapped in smoky spice, vanilla and a touch of mocha. On the palate it feels massive yet polished, layering sweet, concentrated black and blue fruits over firm, gritty tannins and bright, citrus‑edged acidity, finishing long, powerful and still a bit severe from this challenging, structure‑driven vintage. This is a brooding, old‑vine Tempranillo that rewards patience more than instant gratification.

Termanthia is Numanthia’s flagship Toro, a powerful yet finely etched 100% Tinta de Toro from very old, low‑yielding vines, often over a century in age, rooted at high altitude in the rugged Castilla y León plateau. Crafted in tiny quantities with meticulous handwork and lavish French oak, it delivers inky concentration, layered black fruit and sweet spice, but also surprising freshness and finesse, making it one of the most ambitious and ageworthy expressions of Tempranillo in Spain.
