Critical Acclaim
ST90Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar Sep/Oct 2005
"Ruby-red. Aromas of spicecake, leather, dark chocolate and flowers. Sweet and spicy in the mouth, with excellent ripeness for 2002. Flavors of red berries, leather and game. Finishes with sweet, dusty tannins and very good length." (90 pts.)
The picturesque countryside of Spain is littered with vineyards large and small, and offers up some of the best value available on the wine market today. You can consistently fine critically-acclaimed Spanish wines selling for less than their counterparts from other wine-producing countries. The Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions are most famous, and there's nowhere else in the world where you'll find as many world-class Tempranillos.
RP93+93+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Aug 2018 The youngest of the released wines I tasted is a red — the 2016 Pícaro del Águila Tinto. It is from what they consider to be one of the best and freshest vintages in recent times. This is produced with the vines from the warmer parts of La Aguilera, a cold place to start with (and in a cooler year). The old vines are planted with a mix that is dominated by Tempranillo but also contains some 5% other grapes. All the grapes are picked and fermented together with full clusters and natural yeasts in concrete and stainless steel vats. It matured in oak barrels for 13 months. This is fragrant, expressive, open, aromatic and really attractive. The palate is really balanced, with great freshness, fine tannins and a very pleasant mouthfeel — supple, balanced and with great depth. This is the best version of this bottling so far, and it seems like 2016 could be a great overall vintage, based on some other wines I sampled from cask (many of them have an extended élevage). 21,550 bottles and 624 magnums were filled unfiltered and unfined in November 2017.
JS9595 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, January 18, 2018 A solid dose of violety florals, ripe plum and dark berry fruit. Tannins push this wine along while a youthful energy pervades. Structure, concentration and balance. Best from 2020.SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2018 This big red delivers currant and blackberry flavors, with licorice, tar, loamy earth and mineral notes that add depth and balance. Juicy acidity balances the assertive but well-integrated tannins. Drink now through 2035. 6,100 cases made.
