Flor de Pingus magnum 2018 150cl

100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo).

Er wordt een blend gemaakt van de druiven afkomstig van 16 speciaal geselecteerde wijngaarden. Deze assemblage van druiven die zowel van oude als jongere wijngaarden afkomstig zijn, geeft het speciale karakter aan Flor de Pingus.

Elegante, geconcentreerde wijn die prachtig in balans is met tonen van rijp zwart fruit, "roasted tones", leer, een vleugje kruiden en een lange volle afdronk. Reeds op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2030 nog verder ontwikkelen.

The Wine Advocate:

'Like the rest of the wines, I tasted the bottled 2018 Flor de Pingus—which I tasted unbottled last year—next to the 2019 that will be bottled in June 2021, and it was great to see how the wines reflected the character of the two vintages. All of the estate vineyards are certified organic, and this is pure Tinta del País, the local strain of Tempranillo, from 40 hectares in five different locations (parajes) of the village of La Horra where the Pingus vineyards are also located. It fermented with natural yeasts and also natural malolactic and matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. The day I tasted it, the wine was oakier than normal, but the amount of new oak is not higher than normal. The palate showed much better, with very fine and polished tannins. There is freshness, even red fruit and good balance. The oak should integrate with a little more time in bottle.
