Vega Sauco 1998 Adoremus Reserva Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $22
A bit tart and leathery at first, but airing reveals plum, raspberry and chocolate. It’s a well-oaked, fairly mature wine, probably at its best right now. The finish is lean, acid-packed and spicy.

Vega Sauco 2002 Roble Red (Toro)
- Best Buy
- $10
Starts with dusty cherry, plum and green herb aromas before turning more smoky and saucy. Warm and solid, with flavors of plum, vanilla and spice. Well constructed and balanced, if not overly exciting. Imported by Quality Wines of Spain.

Vega Sauco 2001 Roble Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- Best Buy
- $10
A touch heavy and sulfuric at first, but better with airing. Aromas of licorice and black plum come right off the bat, followed by flavors of raspberry, spice and pepper. Finishes smooth and in a couple of layers, with a coffee-like bitterness at the very end. Limited but a gritty contender.

Vega Sauco 2000 Crianza Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $15
Lots of early mint and wood, but then it loses clarity with airing. Flavors of cherry, beet and black pepper steal the palate, which is backed up by red fruit and modest tannins on the finish. Not a lot of nuance here but it’s still good.

Vega Sauco 1999 Wences Reserva Tinta de Toro (Toro)
- $60
From the start to the end, this heavyweight from Toro never really gets it right. The burnt rubber notes on the nose fight with a more pleasant blueberry fruit component. In the mouth, there’s cherry and plum, but it’s kind of medicinal in character. And the palate feel is over the edge, a bit fast and gritty.
— M.S.
