Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia
Pintia Toro Tempranillo
Exquisite. Notes of dark red fruit and tobacco with that slight iodine taste noted from Spain. Great steak wine.

Nov 13th, 2021When opened it was very oaky on the nose. The next day it was beautifully rich and unctuous. It was perhaps a bit much for my taste.

May 19th, 2021👁 This wine was deep ruby.
👃 It had medium(+) intensity of youthful aromas, which included black cherry, blackberry, plum, fig, clove, cedar, vanilla, coconut, oak, toast, dark chocolate, espresso, leather, and pipe tobacco.
👄 On the palate this wine was dry. It had medium(+) acidity, a medium(+) body, high alcohol, medium(+) tannins, and medium intensity in flavors consistent with the nose. It had a medium(+) finish.
This wine was rich and intense. It had a strong structure and balance. It could stand to (would even benefit with) further age, but was also extremely enjoyable now.
