Pintia Toro 2004

Toro, Castilla-Leon, SpainThere is nothing light about this Toro red owned by Vega Sicilia. Pintia is one hundred per cent tempranillo now in its fourth release. It big and brawny on entry with no shortage of heat and or alcohol. A fairly heady red with chocolate and black fruit smothered under young and somewhat obvious oak flavours. The finish mixes toasted oak and spicy black fruits and a fair whack of tannin. Roast lamb will tame it now otherwise it needs another five to ten years in bottle.Tasted: 16 September 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
