Dominio de Pingus Description
Dominio de Pingus Flor De Pingus is an elegant and harmonious wine that showcases a medium ruby color with pronounced legs. It offers a clean and developing nose with medium intensity aromas of cedar, vanilla, chocolate, dark plums, dark cherries, licorice, and anise, alongside notes of perfumes, violets, and blueberries. With around 20% new oak and younger vines, the wine has a medium body, supple tannins, and a long finish. Best enjoyed after 2026, it promises to reveal more complexity as it opens up.
On the palate, Flor De Pingus is dry with medium acidity and high alcohol, boasting flavors of cedar, vanilla, dark plums, dark cherries, and licorice. The wine is plush in texture, displaying a fresh spine of acidity that enlivens the black plum reduction and crushed black cherry fruit. Aromatic and floral, it also features violet, tobacco, vanilla, and mineral accents. The wine is characterized by its abundant but fine tannins, offering a powerful and linear structure.
The elegant nature of Flor De Pingus makes it an excellent companion to dishes that highlight its complex flavors and smooth tannins. Pair this wine with roasted or grilled red meats, such as lamb or beef tenderloin, served with a rich sauce incorporating mushrooms or truffle. Alternatively, enjoy it alongside earthy and savory dishes like wild mushroom risotto, or a hearty vegetable gratin. The wine's dark fruit and vanilla notes also complement aged cheeses like Manchego or Gouda.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of perfumes and violets with blueberries follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine and show muscle and length. Linear and toned. Give this time to open and show you more. Try after 2026.
