Spain
Auroch Toro 2006
I’ve got a couple of inexpensive wines in this week, I’ve been drinking a bit too well of late (not that I’m complaining). Not too many details here, all you need to know is that its an unoaked joven wine made from 100% tempranillo that’s juicy and fresh. It’s made by Ana Martin.
And yes the label does look like a pair of boobs….I’m assuming its supposed to be a pair of bull horns.
Earth, spice, herby undergrowth, lavender, cherry liqueur and Irish pipe tobacco. Juicy, gamy fruit in the mouth followed by a healthy finish. On the palate there is roast meat juice, savoury cherry, cola and sage. The end of the bottle comes all to fast, excellent with some stewed ox tail too. 88 Pts.

That’s funny Dave, because my first thought was that of an old school Spanish mustache
But now that you mention it…
I can see the mustache, but its a combination of the ‘horns’ and the vintage, which looks like a belly button!
