Some wines have age, this one has history. Matsu comes from century old Tinta de Toro vines in Toro, where sandy, granite rich soils and low yields create remarkable depth. Black cherry, blackberry, tobacco and sweet spice unfold over a voluptuous palate, with polished tannins and superb length. The new French oak is present, yet beautifully woven into the fruit. Powerful, soulful and remarkably complete. A wine to linger over. “Great wines to try” DV label

This is an absolute beauty of a wine. Black currants, cocoa, oak and hints of coffee.

Matsu roughly translates to patience in Japanese. Yet opening the 2021 Toro El Viejo feels anything but patience 🙄. Still, the wine commands attention with its rustic, juicy fresh character: not overpowering, but beautifully balanced and well-integrated. The old vintner on the label can be proud of his creation. 🍽️ A perfect companion to a tapas table, think Empanadas with Manchego, chorizo and grilled mushrooms, where its depth and freshness ties everything together. 🛠️15#Alc 🍇💯%Tempranillo 🛒Bovino, 34€

I've had all 3 now. I need to taste the middle alongside the viejo to see if the cost is worth it. But, on its own, it's bold, a lot of body, a bit dry but not too acidic. An excellent wine that I will drink regularly. 100% Tinta de Toro grapes

Spicy flavor of ripe black cherry, leather, cinnamon, vanilla. Taste matches. Rich, tannic, lazy. Typical great Spanish wine.

Dark fruits and spice on the nose. On the palate, lots of fruit and light on the oak, again dark fruits, deep and intense but very smooth. Nice acidity and the high alcohol is well integrated. Big and bold and good drinking.
