Nose: tropical fruit, pear, pineapple, sweet acetone
Taste: slightly sweet to start, dryer on the finish, mild acidity, green apple bubblegum that’s been left in my car, pear, Granny Smith aftertaste coupled with lingering tannin qualities. — 8 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. — 2 months ago

Had the 2016 on Derby Day 2025. Dark, rich fruits. Some chocolate with a hint of leather. Vanilla and caramel from the barrel. Very interesting wine. The artwork on the front label is absolutely fascinating. Had to do the back of the bottle to get it in this app. — a month ago
Chris Ringland is their Wine Consultant. Chris is landing there this week to blend the new vintage.
I like this bottling for its quality & price point. Although the ABV is rising (15.5%), it really doesn’t show it.
The 21 is well made but needs another 7-8 yrs in bottle to reveal its better self.

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. — 2 months ago
