2019 Bodegas Pintia, Toro, Spain

Description

In this big warm vintage lots of measures were taken by Gonzalo to retain freshness and he has excelled. The nose is intense and aromatic with a nice array of hedge fruits rising from the glass. On the palate there is a great deal of succulence and freshness behind the ripe fruits and the finish is filled with black pepper and nutmeg with a herbal undertone. A perfect balance between opulence and finesse this wine will age very well but is surprisingly open even now.

Drink 2023 - 2050

A quick harvest was the key to retaining freshness in the 2019 Pintia. The teams were out from the 6th of September,  and took the next 10 days to complete picking. This has a big yet fresh nose, with blackberries, wet stones, violets and a hint of cocoa. It’s full-bodied, mineral and broad on the palate with a coated mouthfeel, though it’s not heavy at all. This is a really elegant, nuanced and extremely poised Pintia that you can enjoy now, although I would love to see it evolve. Simply put - this is a gem!

Critics reviews

Joaquín Hidalgo 92/100
The 2019 Pintia originates from Toro, and only 15% was aged in large oak foudres to preserve the fruit, while the remaining portion underwent maturation in both French and American barrels, with 70% being new. Garnet in color. The ripe fruit nose reveals blackberry, dried flowers and minty hints accompanied by an oaky layer. Rich and intense on the palate, the firm Toro tannins from a warm and dry year contribute to the concentrated and flavorful lingering finish.Drink 2026 - 2036Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous.com.com (September 2023)

Luis Gutiérrez 94/100
The wine released in 2024 is the 2019 Pintia, from a very dry year when they did a softer vinification and used some 15% stainless steel for the élevage to keep the fruit and freshness. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts. It's a powerful year; the wine has 15% alcohol and is round and full-bodied. It's a heady and ripe Pintia.They had to be careful with the harvest date, and they harvested early and quite quickly. Even though the wine is ripe and heady, with notes of grenadine and small ripe berries, it's also exotic and spicy, quite showy, lush and full-bodied, with 2019 tannins. It's a more powerful wine that is going to require patience.They produced 224,724 bottles, 6,587 magnums and some smaller and larger sizes. It was bottled in May 2021.Drink 2025 - 2031Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (January 2024)

Shuai Zekun 95/100
Ripe blackberries, tar, dark cherries and dark spices. Fine cocoa powder, too. Rich and full-bodied on the palate with a saline smack to the middle. Very long and powerful but expressive and refined. A little richer and more powerful than 2018, but elegant and poised at the same time. Vertical, fine-grained tannins.Drink from 2026shuai_zekun, Senior Editor for jamessuckling_com (November 2023)
