Produced with grapes from the ancient Vi?a El Romeral, the 2011 Terra d’Uro Seleccion was raised in new French oak for 20 months. There is a strong note of shoe polish and licorice, and it is very balsamic with echoes of peat and graphite, in a Douro way, with a core of ripe black fruit without excess. You wouldn't say the wine has seen new oak, as the spicy and smoky aromas are well into the background. The palate is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and a velvety texture, quite balanced and sleek. It could do with a little more tension, though. 30,000 bottles.

This polished red delivers focused flavors in a supple texture. Black cherry, mineral, wild herb and light vanilla notes mingle in a balanced, moderate structure. Reserved, but graceful and long. Drink now through 2023. 4,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Toro Select to Add
