Tasting notes
The 2004 Juan Rojo was aged for 8 months in French and American oak. Opaque purple-colored, the nose exhibits lots of spice, mineral, scorched earth, and blackberry. This leads to a full-bodied, structured wine with layers of fruit, intense flavors, and 4-6 years of aging potential. This well-made Toro will be at its best from 2014-2029. Bodegas Matarredonda, with 60 acres of Tempranillo vines, was founded in 2000 by Alfonso Sanz Rojo. The Libranza bottling is made from pre-phylloxera 100- to 140-year-old vines while the Juan Rojo uses Tempranillo from 80+-year-old vines. Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports; www.oleimports.com

Bright purple. Concentrated, powerful scents of cassis and blueberry deepened by vanillin oak and mocha. Sweet dark fruit liqueur flavors are braced by gentle minerality and finish with an exotic note of licorice candy. This really clings to the palate.
