Pingus

98 Punkte im Decanter Magazin für Pingus 2018 100 Punkte von Robert Parker für Pingus 2018 Ausgezeichneter Rotwein Pingus 2018 des renommierten Weinguts Dominio de Pingus vom Weinmacher und Önologen Peter Sisseck. 98 Punkte im DECANTER: Amid all the hype about its price and cult status, it’s easy to forget that Pingus is also a magnificent expression of both Ribera del Duero in general and the estate’s tiny vineyard in particular: a seamless, satiny texture, with not a hair out of place- superb depth of pure mulberry flavour with subtle shadings of spice, but no feeling of excess- contained power – beautifully balanced with a seam of high-plateau freshness- gorgeous young, but years ahead of it. Biodynamic. 100 Punkte im THE WINEADVOCATE: I was really looking forward to the bottled version of the 2018 Pingus after a great showing of the cask sample last year. Part of the wine matured in 20,000-liter oak casks, so it's not all barrique. This is the first time they used the vats, and based on the results, Sisseck thinks in the future Pingus will be around 50% in oak vats. The Pingus vines were planted in 1929 in two different sectors of the village of La Horra, Barroso and San Cristobal and contain some 2% other varieties. The vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic and are manicured like few vineyards in Spain. The wine is subtle and harmonious, elegant and insinuating, with all the components in very good balance. This is precise and pure- Sisseck is thorough and meticulous, and the wine shows that precision. This follows the line of the 2016, showing very well even if it was bottled only one month before I tasted it. 9,300 bottles were filled in August 2020.
