Bodega Numanthia Description
Termes presents a deep cherry red hue with ruby reflections, offering a clean and bright appearance. On the nose, it reveals ripe black fruit, complemented by spicy notes and tobacco leaf, underscored by a mineral backdrop that adds complexity and elegance. The palate is expressive and full-bodied, delivering a harmonious balance of rich black fruits, cinnamon, cedar, and menthol. Soft tannins and vibrant acidity extend into a long, expressive finish, making this wine both approachable and profound.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A pretty and balanced wine with blackberry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a polished finish. Shows finesse for Toro. Aged for 14 months in wood, a small percentage of which was used. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The entry-level 2021 Termes wants to be an approachable and easier-to-understand varietal expression of the Tinta de Toro/Tempranillo sourced from younger vines (25 to 50 years old). It's ripe at 15% alcohol, juicy and fruit-driven, with a tender mouthfeel and fine tannins. Forty percent of the barrels used for the aging were 400-liter ones, and only 20% of them were new. The élevage lasted for 14 months. 142,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Fresh and poised, with concentrated blackberry paste and black plum fruit laced with an alluring thread of anise, sandalwood, violet, thyme and tar aromatics. This is finely balanced, with fine-grained tannins emerging to firm the lingering finish.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2021 Termes, aged 14 months in French oak (20% new, half 400 liters), displays a garnet red hue. This wine exudes aromas of cherries, undergrowth, and a balsamic undertone with hints of dried flowers. Dry, intense and taut, the freshly reactive tannins are mellow in the rich mid-palate. This is a delicious and authentic Toro red.
