Quesada 50th Anniversary Toro Prensado

The Quesada 50th Anniversary Toro Prensado opens with a medium-to-full-bodied profile of rich cedar, dark cocoa, and espresso, accented by a honeyed sweetness and a subtle dried fruit note that linger elegantly on the palate. The retrohale delivers black pepper, toasted oak, and hints of leather, adding depth and layered complexity. By the second third, flavors evolve into creamy milk chocolate, roasted almond, and caramelized sugar, creating a smooth, velvety texture. The final third intensifies with espresso crema, charred cedar, and bittersweet chocolate, finishing long, bold, and refined with a balanced spice.
