Winery: Bodegas y Viñedos Pintia
Label: PintiaCaniba Rating: 4.5 of 5Wine Type: Vino del AutorVintage: 2004Varietal:
    Tinta de Toro
Alcohol: 15%Tasting Notes: An exceptional year for wine from all 0ver the country, however Pintia 2004 is a fabulously balanced wine for the ages. Long, fruit, great tannins and overall it just plain kicks ass. The only reason that it is not scored perfectly is tempranillos lack of nose. Tempranillo can produce some of the best wines you will have ever tasted as far as the mouth but always has that missing perfect aroma. Enjoy!!
