Wine Critic Reviews
The 2022 Pícaro del Águila Tinto has similar parameters to the 2021 (14% alcohol), but the sensation is of higher ripeness. Surprisingly enough, it has a lower pH than the 2021 I tasted next to it; they used more white to give it freshness and more of the other varieties. It has chalky, dry tannins, reflecting the terroir more, which is remarkable for such a warm and dry year. This is more serious, and the 2021 is more approachable. A triumph over the vintage. 61,757 bottles and 1,979 magnums produced. It was bottled in January 2024.

The 2022 Tinto Pícaro del Águila comes from La Aguilera in Ribera del Duero. It was aged 14 months in French and American oak casks and fermented with whole clusters. Sourced from clay-limestone soils, the wine is slightly carbonic at first, with black fruit, sour cherry and a herbal-fruity profile. Reductive yet expressive. The palate reveals fine-grained tannins, subtle chalk and delicate freshness. Juicy and flavorful, with a juicy core and light vinosity. A succulent wine.
