  (Pintia) Vega Sicilia #2 Dear Friends, Just arrived, more Vega Sicilia and both are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I'm not going to say this is a "can't miss" example from Toro but it's close. Next to something from the same region like Numanthia, it's akin to Lafite versus Pavie. This is a ruggedly tannic wine of real character that has a chance to set a new standard for what is expected in Toro (in a cerebral vein, not an over-extracted one). If you have the patience to lay this away like a top-flight Bordeaux, you may be very surprised a decade from now. I believe this is Jancis Robinson's highest rated wine ever from this region (certainly the highest under $40) - she doesn't dole out 19/20's very often, (even for the First Growths): Jancis Robinson: "Very dark purplish crimson. Very well integrated and savoury. It's almost sitting in an armchair at its club. Lovely and unctuous - wonderful texture - and none of the heat and obvious sweetness of many Toros. Bravissimo! Dry finish. A lovely drink by any standards. 19/20. From 2008" ONE SHIPMENT ONLY with perfect provenance at this terrific price: 2004 Pintia (Vega Sicilia) Toro (Jancis19/20) ..also just arrived: 1998 Vega Sicilia Unico EXTREMELY LIMITED Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain8911
