The 2014 Pintia matured in 75% French and 25% American oak barrels for approximately one and a half years. It is a slightly riper year than 2013, and the wine is more powerful but at the same time I found it extremely aromatic, expressive and open, quite typical from Toro. It is a more elegant style, with less rusticity, and the tannins are fine-grained, present and quite abundant but also quite round. It has a great mouthfeel, with the wild berry, aromatic herbs and spicy flavors lingering in your mouth. This is a great vintage for Pintia. With time in the glass, it still shows some smoky undertones that make it feel quite young. 177,477 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in April 2016.

Sanguine, espresso and loamy earth flavors give this firm red an austere character, with a core of currant and licorice notes. Solid tannins and balsamic acidity provide an ironclad structure. Old-school, balanced and deep. Drink now through 2034. 14,790 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Toro Select to Add
