★之前飲過2015年,實在太大隻(年輕);難得搵到2000年,可以窺探呢支酒的真容了!
★100% Tinta de Toro(clone of Tempranillo specu),混釀100個地塊50-100年葡萄根瘤蚜蟲災害前未嫁接的古老葡萄樹(pre-phylloxera),18個月100%新桶陳年
★RP93/ST93/WS93/vivino4.1(101酒評)
Numanthia是本酒莊的標誌,是著名的Toro產區的「縮影」。它巧妙地混合了超過100個頂級葡萄地塊的果實,從而呈現出一種均衡、高雅而有力的獨特格調。Numanthia之所以有如此風味,是因為它精選最優質的葡萄藤,藤齡達50-80年,且未曾嫁接和灌溉。年復一年,低產量令果實味道相當濃郁,結構也非常緊實。

The project of importer Jorge Ordonez, the 2000 Numanthia (100% Tinta de Toro from 70-100-year old vines) was produced from meager yields of one ton of fruit per acre. It spent 19 months in new French oak, with malolactic in barrel, and neither fining nor filtration. This is a massive, dense ruby/purple-colored effort that needs 3-4 years to strut its stuff. Thick, juicy, and concentrated, it displays notes of creme de cassis, melted licorice, spice box, and earth. (RP)

Saturated bright medium ruby. Cassis and mineral aromas along with pungent new French oak scents of espresso and bitter chocolate. Sweet, thick and superconcentrated, with an impressively chewy, layered texture; very sappy but still a bit youthfully clenched. Still hugely tannic, even a bit aggressive, on the end, but here the oak seems to be in harmony with the wine's powerful fruit, suggesting that all this wine needs is time in bottle. (ST)

Powerful. Coffee, blackberry and licorice aromas explode from the glass. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet lively, with lavish oak, rich tannins and ripe, concentrated fruit. A bombshell, yet balanced and clean. (TM)
