2005 Vinedos de Paganos "El Puntido" Rioja
SKU #104916895 points Wine Enthusiast
Our wine of the year in 2007 (the ’04 El Puntido) is back with a vengeance in the 2005 vintage. This is a deep-fruited modern specimen with that elusive mix of floral, fruit and meaty characteristics. The palate is ripe and everlasting, with berry, coffee and hickory flavors. Long and calm on the finish, with amazing texture. An excellent encore to the prior year’s achievement. (12/2008)
94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2005 El Puntido is 100% Tempranillo sourced from a vineyard of the same name planted in 1975. Malolactic fermentation was sur lie in new French oak for four months followed by 18 months in new French barriques. Purple/black-colored with a brooding nose of great promise, it shows off notes of new oak, crushed stone, scorched earth, roasted herbs, incense, and blackberry. Voluminous yet elegant on the palate, it is mouth-filling and rich with gobs of fruit and plenty of ripe tannin. Give this lengthy effort 6-8 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2030. (6/2009)
92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Bright ruby color. Vibrant red and dark berry aromas are deepened by pipe tobacco, dark chocolate and smoky minerals. Very fresh on the palate, offering spicy raspberry and cherry flavors, silky tannins and a late note of floral pastille. Became livelier and spicier with air, taking a distinct turn to red fruits on the long, juicy finish. Very nicely balanced. (10/2008)
91 points Wine Spectator
This red is supple and silky, with subtle but intense flavors of berries, licorice, vanilla and smoke. It's lively, with gentle but supportive tannins and a perfumed finish. Graceful and expressive. (12/2008)
Barrel: 18 months in new Bordeaux barrels of French oak as of November 2005. Rackings every four months. Bottled in November 2007.
Vinedos de Paganos heeft twee wijnen n.l. de El Puntido en de La Nieta.
El Puntido 2005 had ik een dikke twee jaar geleden ook al gedronken en zijn evolutie is opmerkelijk goed, twee jaar teug vielen mijn tanden ervan uit ... mijn oog valt op de beschrijving van Robert Parker's Wine Advocate en daar staat, drink it from 2016 to 2030. (6/2009) Ik vind hem nu al goed maar een paar jaar extra kelderrust kunnen geen kwaad .... een wijn die vergelijkbaar is met de Sierra Cantabria Coleccion Privada ... nadeel bij de Puntido is een drinking window die pas 11 jaar na de oogst begingt.
Mooie Rioja neus, medium+ body, in evenwicht met niet storende zuurtjes 91p.
Op Cellartracker krijgt deze wijn 91p maar in feite moet je de teller op nul zetten, het overgrote deel is te vroeg gedronken.
