Shop 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: This wine was just ok. I did not like the aromas I got. On the palate, all I could taste was black pepper. Not a winner.
Pairing: Not with this wine!
Cheers!
