Sabor Real toro Crianza 2005 $12.99****


Since I talked about expensive wines I thought might bring up a very inexpensive that is at least as good as anything in the rare wine room. I love this wine. Incredibly rich, big, spicy, fruit forward of a Spanish wine but still has that austere Spanish style. Lots of mineral floral notes supported by juicy cherry and blackberry flavors. The vines are all over 100 years old yielding a wine of immense intensity. The Wine Advocate gave it 91 points. When I tasted it I gave it 4 stars.
