I had a glass of the Sangre de Toro last night, although we used most of the bottle to make Sangria, which we enjoyed with dinner (Greek food)...This wine is a great base for Sangria. We added a bit of the Martin Codax Albarino to the mix, and the red and white wines worked well together in the Sangria.
On its own, the Sangre de Toro was pretty good with a nice, medium body. It was dominated by dark red fruits, but was also a bit earthy, which I really like. A decent wine for the price, although there are several Spanish reds in the $10 range that I like more.
