"The 2014 Finca Sobreño Ildefonso is a Tinta de Toro selection from 60-year-old vineyards fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels for 18 months with rackings every six months. It's serious and combines power and elegance, it shows very good balance and freshness and fine-grained tannins. Great showing. 50,000 bottles were filled in May 2018. - Luis Gutierrez"

"Nicely integrated black-cherry and blueberry aromas leading to a palate that has a punchy core of plum and blackberry flavor. The tannins pack an attractive punch. Plenty of spicy depth on the finish here. Drink or hold."

"Spain's Toro region is noted for its full-bodied red wines made from tempranillo grapes. The Ildefonso is a classic example, with fragrant aromas and elegant yet rich, concentrated flavors."

"Opaque, inky dark fruited nose with licorice and minerals. Big, broad, softly textured palate of excellent depth with very dark flavors and firm round dry tannina. Matured 18 months in 70% French and 30% American oak. - Don WINKLER"

"The deep purple-hued 2017 Ildefonso Toro offers up classic aromatics of spicy red and black fruits, vanilla bean, graphite, cheese rind, and scorched earth, which carry to a medium to full-bodied red that has nicely integrated tannins, a round, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. Aged 18 months in 70% French and 30% American oak, it should evolve gracefully over the coming decade."
