The Wine Advocate - Luis Gutiérrez - 14th Jul 2022 - 2020 Viñedos de Páganos • El Puntido - 93/100 - 2023 - 2032 - $65
The 2020 El Puntido was still very young and energetic, powerful with generous oak and plenty of tannins that need polishing and integration, which should be provided by the time in bottle. It has ripe berries and smoky notes, hints of shoe polish and a darker profile than the 2018 I tasted next to it and with incisive tannins. A powerful Tempranillo with stuffing and balance to mature in bottle. 37,995 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2021 and will be released in September 2022.
