Victorino 2017
Descripción
Marcos Eguren categoriza este monovarietal de Tinta de Toro como un vino con carácter, identidad y muy expresivo. Marcado por su elegancia, frescor y complejidad, permanecerá unos 18 a 20 meses en barrica nueva de roble francés. Después, a buen seguro seguirá la senda marcada por las cosechas anteriores, que llegaron a los 98 puntos en la Guía Peñín y fueron nombrados en alguna ocasión, como en la añada de 2008, el mejor tinto del norte de España.

I also tasted the 2017 Victorino, from a year that was very different from the warm and dry 2017, as 2016 was cold and wet and saw a very late and slow picking because of the slow and late ripening of the fruit. Fermentation and élevage were the same (20 months in 100% new oak), so the differences are due to the vintage conditions. I was very surprised by this 2017 (as with the rest of the 2017s from this address), as I found a fresh and balanced wine, perhaps a little lighter, with round and fine tannins. There are still oak-related aromas and flavors, but there is less toast (they use a different toast for the barrels), and the wine should integrate it with a little more time in bottle. But it should be approachable while you wait for the 2016. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.
A rich, slightly jammy red with purple fruit, plums and chocolate. It’s full-bodied and chunky. Ripe tannins. Big, fruity wine. Needs time to come together. Better in a year or two.

Vino con un equilibrio portentoso entre corpulencia y elegancia.
Muy bueno, pero con ese precio y puntuación, esperaba algo más.
