Flor de Pingus 2016

Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus 2016 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Ribera del Duero appellation of Spain. Pingus was established by the trailblazing Peter Sisseck in 1995 and has become one of the great names in terroir-focused Spanish wine. Flor de Pingus is the second wine of the estate and is produced from 100% old-vine Tinto Fino (Tempranillo). Made from extremely low-yielding bush vines, this is a wine with unique concentration, balance and length. The perfect harmony of ripe fruit, beautifully integrated tannins and elegant floral complexity. "Chalky and intense with so much blackberry character. Some smoke, too. Full body. Firm and chewy with lots of fruit, but a tight and linear finish. Chewy and intense. Needs a year or two to open, but already a joy. Better after 2021" James Suckling, 2019
