2012 Bodegas Numanthia Termanthia – 95-Point Toro Red Wine from Century-Old Vines

The Spanish Powerhouse of Toro

Toro, Castilla y León 🇪🇸 | 100% Tinta de Toro | 95 pts Wine Spectator | Ancient Vines. Big Energy. Limited Release.

This isn’t just a wine — it’s a force of nature. Termanthia 2012 is the crown jewel of Toro, crafted from vines that have weathered over 100 years of brutal Spanish summers. Bold, rich, unapologetically intense — this is Spain's answer to Grand Cru muscle with a soul full of spice and smoke.

Hand-destemmed, foot-treaded, and aged in new French oak, this wine isn’t just made — it’s forged. If you're into lush tannins, cocoa-dusted blackberries, and a finish that flexes for minutes, Termanthia 2012 is your move.

🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Inky dark red with seductive purple edges.

• Nose: Black cherries, pomegranate molasses, cigar box, warm baking spice — like Spain’s most expensive candle.

• Palate: Nutmeg, blackberry liqueur, bitter cocoa, licorice — all wrapped in firm tannins and electric acidity.

• Finish: Long, powerful, mineral-driven, with that slow, spicy fade only Toro can deliver.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Meat Lovers’ Fantasy: Grilled ribeye, lamb chops, venison — if it sizzles, it sings.

• Aged Cheeses: Manchego viejo, blue, smoked Gouda — deep flavors for deep wine.

• Comfort, Elevated: Beef stew, oxtail, coq au vin — the richer, the better.
