2007 Bodegas Pintia, Toro

Bodegas Pintia, Toro
Toro is a warm inland region, and in the summer the 'warm' turns very quickly indeed to 'hot'. The relatively mild temperatures in 2007 have resulted in a Pintia which is marked by its aromatics ( violets and hedgerow) and balanced structure. From 100% Tinta de Toro (as Tempranillo is known in these parts), 50% of which has never been grafted, the wine is fermented and matured in oak, the maturation 70% in new French oak, and 30% in new American oak.

The wine has characteristic dark, almost macerated fruit on the nose, but the palate is broader, more refined and perhaps longer than usual. The black cherry fruit is, as one would expect, shrouded in dense and ripe tannins, but the veil will be lifted over the next three to five years, revealing a complex and structured wine which will hold its own for several more years thereafter.

Bodegas Pintia, Toro
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.
