 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Reviews: Untitled "Black cherry, plum, coffee and smoke flavors mingle in this sleek, muscular red. The tannins are prominent now, but lively acidity provides balance and the finish is spicy and long. Best from 2008 through 2016. 300 cases imported." -Rated 90, Wine Spectator Untitled "The 2004 El Puntido was sourced from its namesake vineyard planted in 1975. The wine was aged in new French oak for 18 months. Purple-colored, it offers an expressive nose of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, black cherry, and blackberry. Firm and structured on the palate, this nicely balanced wine has ample spicy fruit but a slightly compressed finish. It has enough structure to evolve for 3-5 years and should drink well through 2020." -Rated 90, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Untitled "As expected, the wine exhibits a dense black color, with mineral, burnt toast and dark fruit on the bouquet. The flavor profile offers cured meat, leather, graphite and plenty of blackberry, mocha, caramel and coffee. Beautiful modern Rioja." -Rated 96, Wine Enthusiast Untitled "Inky ruby. Earthy cherry and dark berry scents are accompanied by brooding notes of printer's ink, graphite and licorice root. Starts off solid and a bit clenched but aeration brings out sweeter kirsch and floral pastille flavors. The finish shows bitter cherry, chocolate and espresso. Give this some cellar time." -Rated 90, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
