Wine Critic Review: “The 2009 Alvarez de Toledo was bottled just a week before the wine was presented but seems to be showing no symptoms of distress. Balsamic, leather, and black fruits are the principal notes struck by this suave effort that over-delivers in a big way. Like its older sibling, it can be enjoyed now but will have more to say in 2-3 years.”
My Review: I liked this wine well enough, but I think it would be better with food - if I were to try it again, I think I would wait a few years and try it with a steak or something. It was very heavy, and I could taste the tannins, and it seemed like it had a lot going on. I did not have this wine with food.
