2014 Flor de Pingus, made by trendy winemaker Peter Sisseck in Ribera del Duero, Spain, is the second wine of his winery Dominio de Pingus. Pingus is the first and has created quite a hype. Certainly, among Spanish wines, Pingus is truly outstanding. The Flor de Pingus is an excellent wine as well, more accessible than his bigger brother. Grapes from a variety of vineyards, with an average age of the wines being 35 years. Fermentation in barrels and inox, maturation in barrels, but little new wood being used.
Deep purple, dark color. Intense and complex aromas in the nose. Dark red fruit prevailing – some dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry, plum compote. Hint of coffee and some spices. On the palate, the 2014 Flor de Pingus wine is powerful, dry, medium acidity. Round, with expressive but silky tannins. Long finish. I recommend decanting. This wine has reached its peak. Drink now.
