Dominio de Pingus - Ribera del Duero Pingus 2023
98-99/100
Robert Parker
"Discover one of the jewels of the wine world in a new vintage with extraordinary finesse and a finish that leaves an infinite impression..."
"I tasted the Pingus 2023 in its final blend, ready for bottling, earlier this year when Peter Sisseck decided to shorten the aging period. It is a vintage full of finesse and elegance, perhaps a little less concentrated, with exceptional texture and length on the palate, as well as very fine tannins that give it a chalky texture. [...] The quality of the tannins is incredible, they are super elegant. It doesn't have the power of the 2022, but it has finesse; and in the long term, the wine should develop very well in the bottle. Could it be like the 1996 and the 2022 like the 1995? It's not as fresh as the more Atlantic vintages, but it has finesse. Only a handful of vineyards are capable of achieving such a result in a year like 2023. [...] 2026-2040" (Robert Parker 2025) - Delivery in wooden cases is available for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).

About wine:
I tasted the Pingus 2023 in its final blend, ready for bottling, earlier this year when Peter Sisseck decided to shorten the aging period. It is a vintage full of finesse and elegance, perhaps a little less concentrated, with exceptional texture and length on the palate, as well as very fine tannins that give it a chalky texture. It has a restrained maturity, with around 14% alcohol. The quality of the tannins is incredible, they are super elegant. It doesn't have the power of the 2022, but it has finesse; and in the long term, the wine should develop very well in the bottle. Could it be like the 1996 and the 2022 like the 1995? It's not as fresh as the more Atlantic vintages, but it has finesse. Only a handful of vineyards are capable of achieving such a result in a year like 2023. There are no signs of heat or overripeness. 7,200 bottles produced. It should be bottled in May 2025. 2026-2040
