Nose

As one might expect, this varietal Tinta de Toro is quite intense. Blackberries and mulberries, with a note of strawberry milkshake and hints of blue flowers over a dim mineral background.

Palate

Meaty and substantial, but not super beefy, this wine from bodega Dominio del Bendito is fruit-driven and quite fresh. Smooth tannins, and long finish with some mineral and fruity remembrances.

 A nice Toro red wine, Dominio del Bendito El Primer Paso 2022 is perfect with BBQ'd meats.

Still fruity but...
Value
Sorry, but I have changed my mind. The power of this wine makes up for the fruitiness, so I started drinking it again. It is also very good value for money. Cheers!

This is a quality wine, but for me it's too fruity and sweetish tasting. If you like that, go for it, but I'll pass the next time.
