James Suckling awarded the 2019 Pintia an impressive 95 points, highlighting its complex aroma profile with "ripe blackberries, tar, dark cherries and dark spices," and noting the presence of "fine cocoa powder" (jamessuckling.com, 11/15/2023).

Suckling emphasized that this vintage is "a little richer and more powerful than 2018" with "vertical, fine-grained tannins," recommending it be consumed starting from 2026.

Vinous rated the wine at 92 points, pointing out the winemaking techniques used to preserve the fruit. According to Vinous, only 15% of the wine was aged in large oak foudres, while the rest matured in a mix of French and American barrels, with 70% being new (Vinous, 12/1/2023). The reviewer described the wine as garnet in color with a ripe fruit nose featuring "blackberry, dried flowers and minty hints accompanied by an oaky layer." The palate is rich and intense, with firm tannins contributing to a "concentrated and flavorful lingering finish."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the 2019 Pintia a score of 94 points, noting its production during a very dry year which led to a softer vinification process (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 1/4/2024). The wine fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts and was partially aged in 15% stainless steel to maintain its fruit and freshness. The Advocate described it as "heady and ripe" with "notes of grenadine and small ripe berries," and highlighted its exotic and spicy nature. The wine is lush and full-bodied with prominent 2019 tannins, indicating that it will benefit from some aging. The total production included 224,724 bottles and 6,587 magnums, among other sizes, and it was bottled in May 2021.

Overall, the 2019 Pintia is a robust and expressive wine that has been well-received for its depth, complexity, and aging potential.
