Wine Spectator

This plump red is full of cherry, blackberry, chocolate and coffee flavors, supported by ripe tannins and with just enough acidity for balance. A meaty, savory tang adds interest. Drink now through 2015.

Score: 90. —Thomas Matthews, November 30, 2009.

Wine Advocate

The 2007 Prima is a blend of 90% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) and 10% Garnacha aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak prior to bottling without filtration. With a glass-coating opaque purple color, it reveals an expressive nose of smoke, pencil lead, tobacco, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. Supple and round on the palate, it has layers of ripe fruit, savory flavors, and enough soft tannin to improve for another 3-5 years. This lengthy effort will have a drinking window extending from 2012 to 2025. In short, it is a serious example of Toro at a nearly frivolous price.

Score: 90. —Jay Miller, February 2009.
