Numanthia Numanthia 2018

The 2018 Numanthia, sourced from old vines in Toro, spent 18 months in French oak (60% new, 1/5 in 400-liter barrels). Garnet in hue. It exudes red fruits, plums and wild herbs on the nose, with cedar, vanilla, dried flowers and furniture wax. Dry and rich, it offers a creamy, overwhelming palate with polished tannins and a silky texture, leading to a plush, flavorful finish. This is a well-balanced and nuanced Toro.

An elegant red, with good weight and density, seamlessly knitting plump, juicy flavors of ripe black cherry and acai berry with sculpted, chalky tannins. Delivers details of dried flowers, mountain herbs, tar and anise that accent the fruit profile and linger on the plush finish. Drink now through 2033. 7,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.
