Vega Sicilia Pintia 2020
- In stock, ready to ship
Vega Sicilia's Pintia - sourced from the banks of the Duero River within the DO Toro - is a gorgeous, bold, and full-bodied Tempranillo from one of Spain's greatest producers. 2019 was a hot, very dry year in Toro and this is reflected in a ripe, high-alcohol Pintia which nevertheless retains its outstanding overall sense of balance.
95/100 - Another combination of freshness and profoundness from Toro. Blackberries, graphite, ashtray, sandalwood, cocoa powder and dark olives on the nose. Fresh-veined, chalky tannins tighten the palate, with a nervy backbone. The tannins extend to a lengthy finish. Ripe but fresh. Drink from 2026. - Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com
94/100 - Another accomplished vintage of Vega Sicilia's Toro project. Technical director Gonzalo Iturriaga says it was a challenging vintage, with illusive freshness. But ideal harvest timing and maceration management allowed him to deliver a balanced wine, with superbly integrated alcohol. Intense, expressive aromas of dark chocolate, dried black olive, prune and liquorice root mingle with Assam tea (for an elegant smoky allure) and crunchy blueberries. A pleasant rusticity, lined with dried sage, defines the grippy, savoury tannins. Long finish, spicy and earthy. - Ines Salpico, Decanter
On the palate, robust and concentrated with a lingering finish of a profound and enduring character. A dynamic expression of its terroir.
This wine will reward careful cellaring. Age at least a few years, though this wine will show its best a few decades from now.
Try pairing with grilled steak with chimichurri sauce, chorizo-stuffed bell peppers, or roast leg of lamb.
