From a challenging vintage for Toro, Pintia’s 2002 is among the finest wines produced in that appellation. Pintia is a project of Vega Sicilia, who believes they produced a better wine in 2002 than in 2001. I’m not sure I would go that far, but there is no question the 2002 Pintia comes close to the 2001. It is a powerful (14.5% alcohol), dense ruby/purple-tinged offering displaying flamboyant aromatics of blackberries, scorched earth, espresso roast, and cedar. Voluptuous, dense, and heady, with plenty of fat and glycerin, this is a head-turning, exuberant Spanish red to drink now and over the next 7-8 years.
