92 pts. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: April, 2010
The 2006 Juan Rojo is 100% Tempranillo from 80+-year-old vines aged for 8 months in French oak. It delivers a superb bouquet of lightly roasted herbs, espresso, lavender, incense, black cherry, blackberry, and dark chocolate. This leads to a rich, succulent, seamless wine that manages to conceal enough structure for another 2–3 years of evolution. This lengthy effort will be at its best from 2012 to 2020. It is a killer value.

An endearing, balanced, controlled Toro with earthy aromas of blackberry jam, fine leather and mellow herbs. The palate is big, tannic and rock solid, while the flavors are perfectly approachable, sweet and tilt toward chocolate and blackberry. A bit creamy on the finish, with molasses and caramel. Drink now through 2013.
