The 2012 Bodega Numanthia 'Termes' is another gorgeous release from this historic estate. The wine slowly opens in the glass and starts to release aromas of black cherry, pipe tobacco, crushed mint and allspice. This yields dense flavors of black olive, crème de cassis, mocha, and hints of leather. There are lovely earthy elements to this exquisite value Toro. The weight and richness of this wine is hard to find at this price point. This is the best 'Termes' bottling that I have tasted in the past ten years. (Best 2016-2026) - July, 2016 (OB)
