2015 Alonso del Yerro Paydos

Alonso del Yerro makes beautiful wines with vineyards in the Ribera del Duero and the Toro. The Alonso del Yerro Paydos is a beautiful wine from the Toro. The wine was not made in 2012 and the 2013 vintage was a cooler vintage and that benefits the wine immensely. The wine is made from 100% Tempranillo from a 9 hectare 80 year old vineyard in the village of Morales de Toro. The Paydos is a clear and exciting powerful wine. After the wine has been given some oxygen, we smell the smoked oak, nuts, cocoa and tobacco and then taste the very ripe taste, with jammy blueberries. Long finish with again tobacco impressions and powerful tannins. A super Toro and great accompaniment to fur game or meat dishes with a hearty sauce.
