Dark cherry color with purple rims. Continuing the Pintia´s saga, monolithic and powerful wine, aromas of wild fruit like casís or cranberry. The wood is present but not predominant. In the attack it is opulent but without wildness, it has a palate without emptinesses with a vibrant finish. On the palate, it has aromas of compote, casis, cranberries, blue flower ... all them present to provide complexity in the mouth.
What the critics say...

The 2007 Pintia was sourced from 50% ungrafted Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) vines and aged in 100% new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it shows off a compelling bouquet of wood smoke, scorched earth, mineral, incense, blackberry, and licorice. Already complex on the palate, this full-bodied offering is dense, succulent, and structured. Give this lengthy Toro another 5-7 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2032 if not longer.

The completion of the work in Bodegas Pintia at 2006 represents the fourth masterpiece undertaken by the Álvarez family. Leading wineries in their sector, intended for making the best possible wine, designed with functionality where cleanliness is the prime maxim to be respected. Some of the... decisive factors behind the triumph of Pintia are the cutting edge facilities, the best materials with a high renewal rate, a very well cared for vineyard, excellent professionals and an efficient policy.
Alcohol abuse can be dangerous.
