Dominio de Pingus - Ribera del Duero Flor de Pingus 2022
94-95/100
Robert Parker
"A delicate, fragrant Tempranillo of incredible elegance, brought to life by Peter Sisseck!"
“The nose of the 2022 Flor de Pingus has a hint of peach (vine peach!). It is fragrant, elegant, fruitier, soft, delicate, and ripe without being excessive (though perhaps the ripest of the 2022s—perhaps due to the influence of the young vines). The palate is soft, with bright tannins and a rounder mouthfeel. The finish is dry, even a bit austere, with subtle chalky notes. Overall, the 2022 vintages have performed very well, much better than expected. [...] 2025–2032” (Robert Parker 2024)

About the wine:
The nose of the 2022 Flor de Pingus features a note of peach (vine peach!). It is fragrant, elegant, fruitier, soft, delicate, and ripe without being excessive (though perhaps the ripest of the 2022s—perhaps due to the influence of the young vines). On the palate, it is soft, with bright tannins and a rounder mouthfeel. The finish is dry, even a bit austere, with subtle chalky notes. Overall, the 2022 vintage has performed very well, much better than expected. The wine has been blended and clarified and is currently in tanks awaiting bottling. Bottling is scheduled for June (or late May). They anticipate producing approximately 89,000 bottles—slightly fewer because the younger vines suffered more from the heat. 2025–2032
