Dominio de Pingus was founded in 1995 by Danish winemaker, Peter Sisseck. With incredibly small production of extremely old-vine Tempranillo, he is one of the most acclaimed producers in the Ribera del Duero region and has a global reputation for thoroughly modern, highly characterful and long-lived wines. 2001 was a low-yielding vintage but produced wines of superb concentration and overall balance. This is wonderfully hedonistic release that is in its prime drinking window.
95 Vinous
Deep, bright ruby-red. Cherry, licorice and smoked meat at the outset; then exploded with raspberry fruit. Lush, smooth and silky, with lovely inner-mouth perfume. Highly complex flavors of raspberry, minerals, bitter chocolate and smoky oak convey an extraordinary sweetness without any excess weight. Expands wonderfully on the extremely long, aromatic finish, which features noble, palate-dusting tannins. From the recorked bottle, the wine again began with dominant smoky, tarry torrefaction notes, and within minutes was taken over by red berries and flowers. More classic than the '03, but the 2003 may be even richer. Stephen Tanzer1st September 2004

Subtle forest floor aromas, then fresher woodland and cedar mixed with bramble fruit. Overall subtle, silky and fresh with the fully resolved tannins giving silky freshness. (JH)
