95 puncte Robert Parker, 94 puncte James Suckling
Istoria Vega Sicilia incepe in 1859, cand Don Eloy Lecanda Chaves a primit acest domeniu drept dar din partea instaritului sau tata. Ulterior, intors dintr-o calatorie in Bordeaux cu butasi de vita de vie de Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Carmenere si de Pinot Noir, a inceput sa cultive si sa construiasca, astfel, un brand de renume mondial. Pintia Toro, ce a luat fiinta aici, este un vin elegant, cu taninuri delicate, imbratisate cu arome de fructe proaspete. Cotat cu 95 puncte Parker și 94 puncte Suckling, acest vin corpolent, dens, bine structurat, rasfata palatul cu aromele sale de afine, cirese, cola si cafea. Oferiti-i un ragaz de 5-7 ani de invechire si veti avea ocazia, astfel, sa degustati o capodopera!

The 2016 Pintia comes from a cooler but drier vintage, and the wine has a little less alcohol and more freshness. It fermented in oak vats and matured in mostly new and mostly French oak, but this year they used a little more American oak with the idea to increase density. 2016 was an atypical year in Toro; they had plenty of time to pick the grapes with lower alcohol and wines with more elegance. This is clearly a more elegant vintage than 2015. The wine has some notes that took me to the Northern Rhône, and the oak is neatly integrated—it seems to get better integrated in cooler years. There is a mix of black and red fruit that denotes good freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, with a distinct lack of rusticity and density, and it's more fluid. It has abundant, chalky and fine-grained tannins and a supple, long and dry finish. 230,032 bottles, 6,517 magnums and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled in May 2018.

Blueberry, lavender and some vanilla and cedar character. It’s medium-bodied with round tannins and a flavorful finish. Nice, creamy texture. It finishes reserved, polished and complex. So drinkable now, but one of the cellar as well.
