Blackberries, graphite, ashtray, sandalwood, cocoa powder and dark olives on the nose. Fresh-veined, chalky tannins tighten the palate, with a nervy backbone. The tannins extend to a lengthy finish.

It's opulent and juicy but gentle. The wine reached 15.5% alcohol and has a pH of 3.9 with 4.4 grams of acidity. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts. It was a very warm and dry vintage in Toro, with a heat wave before the harvest, so they had to rush to pick the grapes; and still, the wine is richer and more powerful, even though the amphorae helped them contain the sensation of ripeness in the wine. It has a heady and ripe profile that's very aromatic and showy, with notes of very ripe berries, prunes and decayed violets, with a faint volatile twist. It matured 70% in new barrels, 10% in used barrels, 10% in stainless steel and 5% in clay pots. It's full-bodied and lush, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It's a ripe and powerful vintage for Pintia, but it evolves nicely in the glass, showing less of its ripe side with time, which to me is a good sign.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Luis Gutiérrez, Jun 2025\u003cbr\u003eReviewed by:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e- 94 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2020 Pintia is Tempranillo from Toro. It opens with fine plum, delicate spice, cherry, barrel notes and a hint of orange peel. A touch of jam adds to the warmth. Rich and intense, the palate is broad and textured with firm tannins. For a Toro, the mouthfeel is unusually smooth, with a core of red fruit. Nicely balanced.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Joaquín Hidalgo, Jun 2025\u003cbr\u003eReviewed by:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e- 94 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother accomplished vintage of Vega Sicilia's Toro project. Technical director Gonzalo Iturriaga says it was a challenging vintage, with illusive freshness. But ideal harvest timing and maceration management allowed him to deliver a balanced wine, with superbly integrated alcohol. Intense, expressive aromas of dark chocolate, dried black olive, prune and liquorice root mingle with Assam tea (for an elegant smoky allure) and crunchy blueberries. A pleasant rusticity, lined with dried sage, defines the grippy, savoury tannins. Long finish, spicy and earthy.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e-Ines Salpico, Jan 2025\u003cbr\u003eReviewed by:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDecanter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e- 94 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA graceful red, with lovely purity to the core of mulberry and roasted black plum fruit.
