Description
Pingus 2007
Ribera del Duero
1 scuffed label
You could call this an 'Atlantic vintage', i.e. not extreme in temperature and more in the elegant, subtle mode. The whole intensity of Pingus on the nose - coffee and black berries. Really lovely harmony of fruit, acidity and tannin. Old vines (planted in 1949 and 1928) and a real example of 'under-vinifying'. Tremendous length on the palate. The tannins are so ripe and the oak (100% matured in barrels from Darnajou, as is Pomerol's Château Lafleur) is already completely integrated. The mocha finish is terrific. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
