"The 2011 Finca La Rana seems to present itself in a lighter style, with a bright ruby color and a nose blending red and black fruits and a spicy floral note with hints of Mediterranean herbs, dried meat and licorice, not unlike some elegant wines from the Northern Rhône. The palate is medium-bodied, very approachable, juicy and supple. A great Toro that represents good value. Bravo! Drink now through 2016." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

This Spanish wine is excellent. I picked it up on another site, by the way!

Parker's wine par excellence, coarse woodiness, bitterness, coconut, herbaceousness, I'm sorry I bought this wine.

Powerful, aromatic, terrific Q/P ratio. See Parker's commentary, which I find perfect (note 92).

Note and review by M. SYLVESTRE D. Published on 19/02/2015
Very pleasant on the palate, quite fruity with a hint of cherry. It lacks a little length but I highly recommend it.
