The juicy, velvety and aromatic red 2020 Pícaro del Águila Tinto is fine-boned and quite faithfully represents what they want to express with this cuvée; it’s very tasty and has some chalkiness (perhaps through less ripeness than in years like 2018) with 14% alcohol and mellow acidity. The nose reveals some Côte-Rôtie-like notes of smoked meat and violets. 2020 delivered a good crop of healthy grapes that produced the finest wine to date for this bottling. This is superb, elegant and powerful, with everything in place (seems to be the signature of 2020) and perfectly integrated oak. 71,382 bottles and 1,979 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2021.

Picaro del Aguila 2020 is a ripe red wine with a clean nose of black fruit accompanied by herbaceous notes, wild flowers and a menthol base. On the palate it’s fresh, deep and elegant. A medium-bodied, pleasantly tannic wine with refreshing acidity. The finish is long, persistent and round.
