"Vintage conditions required a stricter selection for the flagship 2007 Pingus. The aromatics are more brooding but seriously multifaceted. Smoke, pencil lead, truffle, Asian spices, blackberry, and licorice notes are followed by a chewy, dense, rich, powerful wine with fully integrated oak, savory black fruits, ripe tannins, and a decade of aging potential. Drink it from 2020 to 2047, if not longer. The first vintage of Dominio de Pingus, owned and produced by Peter Sisseck, was in 1995. The estate has been biodynamically farmed since 2000 and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration." Wine Advocate #188, Apr 2010 |
