Elias Mora, Toro (Castilla y León, Spain) 2011

A lovely rendering of Tempranillo, this shows excellent balance that is rooted in perfect ripening of the fruit.  Although the wine is generously flavored and textured, it also shows fine freshness.  Moreover, the balance of oak and tannin to fruit is very well measured, leaving the wine with plenty of structure to improve for five years, but also making current enjoyment possible with food.  Lots of little nuances emerge from this wine with aeration, so decant this if serving it anytime soon.
