Vega Sicilia Pintia 2011 - Bt | JR17

Tasting note

Inky colour of elderberry juice. Intense, ripe but not overripe black cherry and blackcurrant. Lots of sweet oak and chcocolate on the nose. Thick, thick texture but there’s juice in the middle. Sweetly oaked and generous. Purest of fresh dark fruit, needing time for the texture to become more refined. For lovers of oak. Still seems so young and undeveloped, though the tannins are not aggressive, just thick.

Score: 17
