The 2015 Termanthia is a deep garnet Toro wine sourced from XIX-century vineyard plots and aged 22 months in oak barrels. Ripe cherry, wild herbs, dried flowers and a subtle balsamic layer define its complex aromas. Balanced and rich on the palate, it features supple tannins and a long-lasting, nuanced finish. The 2015 is a finely crafted Toro with a well-integrated oak influence.
The 2015 Termanthia is a selection from 120-year-old ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines from six plots that fermented in French oak vats with commercial yeasts and matured in barrels for 22 months; this vintage is when they started using less new oak. It has 15% alcohol and a pH of 3.67. Tasting this next to the 2016, it feels like there's more toasty oak here, and it's very balsamic with notes of camphor and a little minty, a little heady and quite ripe with black rather than red fruit, abundant tannins and plenty of oak-related flavors. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2017 and launched in 2022.
Aged for 20 months in new French barriques. Bottled May 2017.
Big, powerful (but not at all brutish) wine. After five years in the cellars, still very youthful with a great deal of finesse. Violets, rose petals, touch of herb. Acidity is more evident – this will benefit from several more years in bottle but the freshness combines beautifully with concentrated fruit, aromatics and subtle oak. (AWH) 14.5%
