Matsu El Recio, Toro, Spain 2023

Description

Matsu’s 2023 El Recio is a bold and richly textured Toro red crafted from old-vine Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grown in sandy, low-yield vineyards. Aromas of blackberry, plum, cocoa, licorice, toasted spice, and espresso unfold into a concentrated palate layered with ripe dark fruit, velvety tannins, and subtle oak complexity. Powerful yet polished, the wine balances intensity and freshness with a long, savory finish that reflects the depth and character of Toro’s old-vine terroir.
