Flor de Pingus 2001 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. "Barely a step down from the more rare and pricey Pingus, the ’01 Flor should fly off store shelves and restaurant wine lists. It’s that good, starting with the intoxicating nose and moving through the pure palate and onto the marvellous finish. A wine that goes all the way, with spice, leather and mounds of rich, ripe fruit." Wine Enthusiast, 2005

Vinous
Full medium ruby. Roasted black fruits and graphite on the nose. Sweet, dense and full; the superripe black fruits show a roasted aspect, but firm acids are keeping the wine tightly wound. Needs another year or so to show more complexity. Peter Sisseck's second wine is from purchased grapes but may also contain some declassified Pingus barrels (in the difficult 2002 vintage, Sisseck has decided to declassify all of his Pingus material into the Flor de Pingus).Stephen Tanzer1st July 2003
