The 1991 Seleccion Especial's longer aging in wood is obvious given the heavy overlay of toast, smoke, and pain grille notes. In the mouth, the wood has provided leanness and tannin, without the fruit and charm of this estate's other offerings. It is an ambitious, serious effort, but I suspect it will dry out, and never achieve the charm of the 1994, 1995 and 1996 Tudela del Dueros.
This wine, a blend of primarily Tempranillo and old vine Grenache, is produced just outside the Ribera del Duero region.
