Pingus 1995 is a mature red from Ribera del Duero, produced by Peter Sisseck from low-yielding, old-vine Tempranillo. The 1995 vintage, warm and generous, yielded a wine of early power and aromatic richness, yet the estate’s meticulous selection and élevage ensured structure and balance. The wine offers a layered bouquet of black cherry, plum, graphite and subtle tobacco, while the palate is dense but silky, with refined tannins and persistent freshness.
96 Vinous
Deep ruby-red. Mellow, deep aromas of dark berries and exotic wood tones, with a suggestion of Provençal herbs; not quite as lively or perfumed as the brighter '96. Shows the roasted, gamey ripeness that characterizes so many '95s from the region. Great sweetness and complexity in the mouth. Doesn't possess quite the sappy lift of the '96, but perhaps even more concentrated. Powerful underlying structure and palate-staining persistence. Has the thick, 3-D texture to buffer its huge, ripe tannins. I ultimately give the '96 a slight edge on sheer brightness, but this is compelling wine.Stephen Tanzer1st November 1999
18.5 Jancis Robinson
Debut vintage, very experimental but hugely successful. Deep crimson with slightly faded rim but no sign of orange. Intensely gamey, meaty nose with whiffs of blackberry. Full, very thick entry on the palate, significant acidity and tannins quite amazingly recessed. Not to say almost undiscernible. Lovely mellow mouthful. With game please. Very, very slightly short? This was the vintage of which quite a quantity was lost mid-Atlantic when the boat carrying it went down. More`s the pity. (JR)
