Dominio del Aguila 'Picaro del Aguila' Vinas Viejas, Ribera del Duero, Spain 2021 Le Colture and a touch of spicinessI tasted two vintages of the entry level wine, starting with the 2021 Pcaro del guila Tinto. It's ripe and round, with round tannins, velvety and polished, approachable and hedonistic. It's nicely built and serious, very serious for an entry level. 60,387 bottles and 1,968 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2023. 94 Pts Luis Gutierrez, Robert Parker
