100% Tempranillo.

El Puntido is een wijn uit Rioja

Zeer goede prijs- kwaliteitverhouding. 
El Puntido heeft 16 maanden gerijpt in Frans eiken.
Romige, aromatische wijn. Rijp fruit, een vleugje kruiden, roasted tones, volle evenwichtige tannines en een krachtige afdronk.
Uitstekende combinatie met rood vlees, wild, boeuf bourguignon, paté, jamón en harde kazen.
Is nu al op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2024 nog verder ontwikkelen.
De optimale drinktemperatuur voor El Puntido is 16°C. 

The Wine Advocate: 

"Sourced from the vineyard that surrounds the winery in the village of Páganos, the 2014 El Puntido is pure Tempranillo aged in brand new French barriques for 16 months. I tasted this next to some wines from San Vicente and noticed the difference in soils and altitude, and there's always some extra freshness here. It has aromas of fine woods and exotic spices, faintly balsamic and smoky. They also had to sort and declassify grapes to achieve the quality they are looking for. The palate shows the fine, chalky tannins and the lively acidity that should help it in its journey in bottle.

I tasted some impressive wines from 2015 (the 2014s suffered in comparison) and from the other Eguren family wineries. Marcos Eguren told me he finds some common characteristics between 2015 and 1995."
