Torres Coronas 2003

By Dave Worthington ⋅ August 26, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Torres Coronas 2003Just a quick note on this one.  The Torres wines are another one of those wines that just about everyone knows, kind of like Penfolds in Australia.  They make wine at all levels, but they are best known in Australia for this one and Sangre de Toro.  Many of their wines come in screwcap, this one was under cork.

Coronas is made from mostly Tempranillo with a bit of Cabernet, there is no mention of oak but there seems to be a bit of oak influence in the wine.

A good nose of red currents and strawberries, a hint of smoke and oak with an earthy undertone.  Straight forward in the mouth, ripe red berries with some herb and more of the smokey oak flavours.  The tannins are in control and develop a bit of velvet in the glass.  Very glugable with a good pizza or pasta.  85 Pts.

  1. Sounds like a pretty basic wine Shag. Not one you would buy mutliple bottles of?

  2. Yep, fairly basic but it has some interest. I’d put in a similar line to Seppelt’s Victorian Shiraz….

  4. I like the cheap 03 Torres Sangre de Torro. They don’t come with the little plastic bulls on the neck anymore though..I was collecting them. I have a couple attacking a toy lion on one of our door sills…

  6. I was looking for Sangre de Torro as I know GW likes it, but it seems he’s cornered the market :P

  8. Yep that is him :-)
    He ‘is the man’. I reckon if I was single I could pull a girl like Paris with him by my side.

    I reckon Paris would dig not only me but also Sangria, maybe I should email her to see if she wants a private tasting? :-)
