  A fantastic Saturday evening with grilled Rostas with side dishes, accompanied by a world-class wine;
  
  Bodegas Pintia Toro Pintia 2007
  100% Tempranillo
  
  70% French oak and 30% American oak. The first sip reveals a funky aroma with a bit of burnt brick, the alcohol stings a bit. This means that the decanter arrives and after about 1 hour everything is in place. The tannins are so precise, they together with the low-key acidity, reveal that we are only at the beginning of the drinking window. Blackberries and black currants with hints of slightly sour raspberries. The autumn leaves, with all that these tertiary notes imply, are knocking on the door.
  
  Have said it before, Pintia is best drunk with a few years on the neck. A lot of sediment, requires careful filtration when decanting 👌🍷

  Part of the Vega Sicilia family of wineries, Sothebys’ ex-Bodega auction, 100% Tinto de Toro aka Tempranillo, 15%, 6 hours decant before the initial sip, approximately 15 months in 70% French and 30% USA oak, 12+ months in the bottle before release. Purplish-red on the eye…reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson on the runway 💃. Robust, olfactory-encompassing, earthy dark cherries…broad-shouldered, powerful fragrance not for the faint of👃. Medium+ bodied, ultra-dry dusty gripping tannins, blend of aged herbs and dark berries…savoury and spice and everything nice…3 glorious hours of swirling, sniffing and sipping. Pleased as punch to have several more bottles to sip over the coming decade 🕺. Korean tuna and kimchi soup, spicy stir-fried beef and boiled pork dumplings were pleased to Gangnam-style dance with Toro yumminess…cross-culture hybrid dinners at my condo (read lazy) rock 🤤

  Following the suggestion below, this was given a 1 hour decant. However, on opening the wine presented a nose of chocolate, vanilla and black fruit. The wine is full-bodied with soft tannins, mouth-filling and supple. A beautiful wine.

  100% Tempranillo, 70% is on French oak and 30% on American oak. An absolutely wonderful fruit in the form of blackberries, black currants, sour raspberries. Fine minerality, tobacco and autumn leaves. The acidity and tannins are in harmony, it is impossible to say that this wine is 15 years old, incredibly viral and resilient. This vintage will be even better within 5 years, but are absolutely wonderful to drink right now. Needs about 1 hour in a carafe.
