Bodegas Numanthia 2020

The 2020 Numanthia is a powerful and concentrated expression of the Toro region, crafted from ungrafted, centenarian Tinta de Toro vines. Despite a challenging growing season, this vintage exhibits a remarkable balance of structural power and aromatic precision. It presents a deep, opaque black-cherry color and an intense bouquet of ripe blackberries, blueberries, and black currants, interwoven with sophisticated layers of clove, black pepper, and roasted coffee. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and muscular, featuring firm, ripe tannins and a surprising mineral freshness that reflects the sandy, stony soils of the region. Aged for 18 to 22 months in 100% new French oak, it concludes with a persistent, savory finish marked by lingering notes of dark chocolate and smoke.
