Vega Sicilia Pintia Bodegas 2020

Another combination of freshness and profoundness from Toro. Blackberries, graphite, ashtray, sandalwood, cocoa powder and dark oliv es on the nose. Fresh-veined, chalky tannins tighten the palate, with a nervy backbone. The tannins extend to a lengthy finish. Ripe but fresh. Drink from 2026. (Zekun Shuai,jamessuckling.com,Aug. 13, 2024)
