Dominio de Pingus Information Sheet
Country of Origin: Spain
Location: Quintanille de Onesimo
People: Peter Sisseck, Owner & Winemaker
Supplier: http://www.rarewineco.com


Dominio de Pingus owner and winemaker, Peter Sisseck, has not looked back since he launched the inaugural 1995 vintage of Pingus to instant acclaim from Robert Parker and $200-a-bottle price tag. Working with carefully nurtured, ancient vines, and yields as low as half to a quarter of the finest red Grand Cru Burgundies he makes a maximum of 500 cases that are among the most sought-after in the world of fine wine. Aged in 100% new French Oak, this is the modern archetype of Ribera de Duero. The second wine Flor de Pingus, is a great relative value, and a good deal less scarce, particularly in years like 2002 when no first wine is produced. In short, these wines are exciting, modern and yet at their core very traditional and singular in their expression of ancient Tempranillo vines grown in sandy soils.

Dominio de Pingus 2011 'Flor de Pingus' Ribera Del Duero DO
Rating: 93

Inky ruby. Potent, mineral- and smoke-accented dark berry and violet scents show excellent clarity and lift. Silky and seamless in texture, offering sweet blackberry and boysenberry flavors and notes of spicecake and floral pastilles. Closes with strong thrust, appealing sweetness and sneaky, slow-mounting tannins. Very suave, even now, but this wine will be much better in another five to seven years.

Inky purple. An exotic, expressive bouquet displays scents of blueberry, black cherry, violet, licorice and Asian spices, with a subtle smoky nuance in the background. Offers an array of densely packed black and blue fruit and floral flavors that are enlivened by bright minerality. Shows outstanding clarity and energy on the intense, lingering finish.

Rating: (94-96)

The 2011 Pingus has a gorgeous, pure black cherry, cassis and blueberry scented bouquet interlaced by orange blossom and apricot. The oak is beautifully assimilated into the aromatic profile. The palate is full-bodied with a decadent entry. The tannins are ripe and rounded, imparting great tension and focus. There is both dimension and grace to this formidable Pingus that should blossom once it finishes its gestation. This is an outstanding Ribera del Duero wine. Drink 2020-2035+.
