El Puntido

Outstanding Rioja crianza

El Puntido surprises me allways and its great rioja exceptional qpr gem. I have drink vintages 2004,2011 and this 2012 and all of them are super quality wines.Dark berries, plums, liguorice, levander and tobacco on nose. Great vanilla oak. Good acidity and smooth, silky tannins on palate with blackberries. Good oldfashiones finish. Fullbodies and complexity wine. Excellent texture. No need to long decanding. .

Great modern Rioja

We already drunk older vintages as 2009, 2010 and 2012 and were very positive surprised by 2014. Already great to drink now while the previous years needed a few years to come open. The Puntido has a great nose and quite unique mouthfeel - full bodied but still very balanced - not yet found in other Rioja’s and with superb mineral aftertaste. One really need to try the wines of this great domain.

Quality modern Rioja crianza

Blackberries, plums, floral elements and herbs on nose. Quite smooth acidity and rounded tannins on palate. Medium plus bodied and medium fruity finish. Structured and balanced texture but not this high altitude crianzas best vintage. And needs more cellaringtime. To my mouthfeel vintages 2004-5 and 2011 have been slighly better. Paired well with peppery steak.

Excelente

Es un clásico que funciona siempre, tanto a los amantes de la potencia como a los que les gusta la elegancia y precisión. Las excelentes notas de crianza no tapan una buena dosis de fruta negra compotada. Lleno de matices, largo y muy sabroso.

Gran vino

Uno de mis favoritos de los Hnos Eguren. Tiene el equilibrio justo fruta-madera, su justa mineralidad. Un vino muy conseguido añada tras añada. Se puede beber ahora o dentro de 5 años. 4.5 estrellas.
