"A must-try from La Manchuela—savour this unique wine from a single-hectare plot of old Bobal vines grown organically!"

Pino 2025 once again delights our noses with its aromas of Mediterranean herbs, crushed stone, and black cherries. Its firm yet elegant palate, thanks to its fine tannins, envelops our taste buds with flavors of fresh red fruits, pure minerality, and a solid structure. The terroir of its unique limestone plot is easily discernible in its long, chalky finish, with a subtle hint of white pepper. Yet another success from Bodegas Ponce.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on February 17, 2025

100% Bobal Medium-deep purplish-red color. On the nose, delicate red fruit—raspberry and strawberry—along with sweet blackberry and some Beaujolais-carbonique aromas. Still compact, young, and untamed. On the palate, plenty of red fruit, crisp berries, and delicate raspberries, with some earthiness and light spiciness. Juicy, with fine acidity, good structure, and fine-grained tannins. Elegant and a pleasure to drink. Medium finish. I cannot confirm the high ratings given to this wine by Parker and Suckling. Score: 16+/20
