Dominio de Pingus 2018

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

About the wine:

I've been eagerly awaiting the bottled version of Pingus 2018 after an excellent presentation of the sample on cask last year. Some of the wine matured in 20,000-liter oak barrels, so it's not all barrel. This is the first time they've used vats, and based on the results, Sisseck believes that in the future, Pingus will be around 50% in oak vats. The Pingus vineyards were planted in 1929 in two different areas of the village of La Horra, Barroso and San Cristobal, and contain around 2% other varieties. The vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic and are maintained like few vineyards in Spain. The wine is subtle and harmonious, elegant and insinuating, with all the components of a very good balance. It's precise and pure; Sisseck is meticulous and meticulous, and the wine shows that precision. It follows in the footsteps of the 2016, which was very good even though it was only bottled a month before tasting. 9,300 bottles were produced in August 2020.

About the wine:

Very fragrant and aromatic, with notes of blackberry, cherry, blueberry and fresh flowers such as violets. Full-bodied, with a tight, cut structure, fine tannins and a long, precise finish. Refined and linear. Great length. Drink after 2023.
