wine2021 Terra D' Uro Tempranillo Toro La Enfermera
14.5% ABV, barrel-aged three months
45-minute decant
$11.99 / 88
Very soft, muted nose of dark cherry. Medium purple in the glass. Powdery tannins. Dry with mild acidity. Dark cherry with leather, black pepper on the palate. Earthy, smokey. Bold. Not particularly complex, but tasty. Medium body, medium finish. An hour later, the wine has grown more tannic, somewhat more acidic.
Had the second glass with homemade pizza. Slightly bitter, cheese-filled crust, a layer of pesto and one of tomato sauce. Mushrooms. The wine’s acidity comes front-and-center, cutting through the savory, umami ingredients in the pizza. Pepper in a supporting role. The wine holds its own.
Given that this is a twelve dollar wine, I think it’s a winner. Would buy again.
