Medicinal, sweet and short on complexity for a wine of this price. The palate has a choppy, rough feel and then comes an onslaught of medicinal berry flavor that leads to a tight, biting finish that’s big on acid and low on depth of flavor and intracacies you might expect for $80. More of a novelty wine; 160 cases made.

Lemony and citrusy from the get-go, with floral notes to the nose. The palate is sheering and tart, with edgy tannins. As a whole, it’s angular, with tomato and red-fruit flavors. A natural, jacked-up example of Prieto Picudo that’s a bit underwhelming.

This “basic” Tierra de León wine made from the obscure Prieto Picudo grape outshines Pricum’s higher-priced bottlings. It has a leathery nose with mild baked-berry flavors, while the palate is tight but not astringent. Flavors of toamto, red currant, raspberry and herbs are snappy, and overall it’s textured and long in the mouth.
