Description
Pintia is one of those hidden gems in Toro, Spain that excels year in year out and yet many have still not heard or are aware of this excellent wine.? A dry and cool year the wine really stands out for its class, precision and freshness.? It has a lovely aroma of dark fruit on the nose with a hint of garrigue and minerality that makes me think of an Old-world Syrah.? The palate is medium bodied , with fine filagree tannins exhibiting a precision and tension that is sometimes missing in hotter years, whereby the fruit has a little more rusticity.? The whole wine has elevated itself, it’s a more focussed beauty than previous vintages. Recent renovations in the Pintia cellars are hopefully part to blame and lets hope this continues. ?A fantastic showing for this wine or should I say “an awful wine – don’t tell anyone about it!”, whilst treating yourself to a case!
Drink 2025 – 2030+
