Worth waiting for. Nice Malbec. — 15 days ago
Toro: one of the oldest and strongest expressions of Tempranillo is tamed by the House of Vega Sicilia. Pintia preserves the rustic and robust nature of the DO in an elegant way. Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, violets, dark chocolate, coffee and spice. Full bodied, high alcohol and fine grain tannins with a strong finish are sure to entice. — a month ago
Faint fuscia and apricot on the nose, fruity on the palate. Medium full body. Delightful. — 15 days ago
Elite wine experience. Decanted and poured in two halves. Needed a short while for footing but was ready to party after 20-30 minutes. The bouquet was phenomenal and had a very complex mix of earth and fruit. Some figs. Some cedar? And it was all amazing. — 15 days ago

It is always great to revisit a classic. This is one of the best representations of Rivera del Duero as a whole, composed of fruit from select parcels and vineyards from the DO; it always exudes opulence, the body is full, the tannins are grippy and the finish lingers. — a month ago

Deep ruby in color; cassis, black plums, and cedar on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blackberries, black cherries, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. — 2 days ago
