Pintia, Toro (Spain), 2002

Deep purple/red.

Huge oak influence, but it works - toast/char, meat, earth, discreet red fruit nose.

Round and dense entry, with surprising depth of flavor and even some complexity. Oak char/spice action dominates, but there's some herb too that keeps it interesting. Better than it should be, if you read/care about vintage charts.

$45
