Pintia Toro 2006

Toro, Castilla-Leon, SpainIt is year six for Pintia and the muscular, 100 per cent tinta del Toro (tempranillo), owned by Vega Sicilia shows well in a so-so year. The colour and entry are dark and rich with a characteristic dark fruit and chocolate undertone. The palate is a smoky, earthy black fruit affair with typically hefty Toro tannins although they are moderately soft. Rack of lamb is the ticket here and perhaps another five years in bottle.Tasted: 06 April 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
