Finca Sobreno Toro Reserva Seleccion Especial 2009 is made from 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) from selected old-vines plots and aged during 14 months in American oak.
 

Finca Sobreno Toro Reserva Seleccion Especial 2009 presents with deep dark cherry red color with dark purple tones. Powerful yet elegant nose, refined and stylish with ripe berry fruit, spicy complexity with scents of clove, sandalwood, vanilla, chocolate. Muscular, elegant yet silky smooth taste shows fruit preserves/jam blackberry and chocolate truffle. Concentrated and rich but not sweet with superb length. A good match for venison or wild boar with a fruit-based sauce.

"The 2009 Finca Sobreno Reserva – Seleccion Especiale is a blend of the estate’s best vineyard (over 50 years in age) and sees half the fruit aged in 14 months in new American oak, the remainder in used oak. It has a lifted floral bouquet of dark berries, briary and dried violets that is well-defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry of dark cherries, balsamic, a hint of orange peel and cloves. There is good structure and focus present here, with a clean fresh, focused finish. It is very fine and very elegant for a Toro red. Drink now-2019+"

(sourced from old vines and aged in American oak for 14 months):  Opaque purple.  Deeply pitched aromas of blackberry, violet, smoky oak and mocha.  Then sweet, broad and lush on the palate, with explosive dark berry flavors complicated by vanilla, mocha and a floral nuance.  Finishes with big, broad, supple tannins and superb length.  This exotic, large-scaled wine shows surprising energy and focus for its heft.--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 Points
