The 2020 "17 by Pinea" is a 100% Tempranillo that oozes with aromatics of ripe blackberries, blueberries, spiced plums, crushed violet, anise, and hints of dried citrus rind. While it’s impressive immediately out of the bottle, I would suggest a decanting to allow all of the aromatics to reveal themselves fully. The palate is rich and complex with great structure, but it is not a heavy wine, as pleasant acidity provides lift and freshness. Persistent tannin frames the dark fruit on the palate, culminating in a lingering and fragrant finish. It is delicious and deeply satisfying – don’t miss out!
