Vega Sicilia Pintia 2021
95+ Pts, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, James Suckling
“The current release is the 2021 Pintia, for them an exceptional vintage in Toro, one of their finest to date. It was cropped from a cooler year when the wine has more freshness despite the 15% alcohol, with a pH of 3.83 and 4.7 grams of acidity. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats and matured partly in stainless steel (15%), barrels and foudres with 75% new oak, for 11 months. Three episodes of rain in September really made the vintage, something unusual in the zone, putting the icing on the cake of a cooler year. The wine is always more powerful than the wines from Ribera or Rioja, with more oomph, density and abundant tannins but with very good balance and freshness. It’s a Pintia for the long haul, like a 2018 with more weight.” -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Excellent and refined, showing deep, fresh blackberries with tar, dark minerals, cocoa powder and roasted spices. Full-bodied with tight but fine-grained tannins. Lasting well in the finish. Drink from 2027.
Bodegas Vega Sicilia is one of the oldest and most storied wineries in the history of wine. Producing wines that have consistently rivaled the top names of Bordeaux and Burgundy since the 1860s. For over a hundred years their wines were legendary, yet they were the only quality producer in Ribera del Duero until Pesquera joined in the 1970s. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called them “a benchmark for the world’s great red wines.” That’s not hyperbole. That’s just the truth.
