PINGUS 2021

Pingus is time after time the standard bearer of their project. It has reached a level of perfection in vine husbandry that allow them, year after year to produce something outstanding. This 2021 is no exception. Deeply colored but not black with beautiful sparks of ruby. A really deep nose of ripe fruit, Pingus is always more blue than red fruit, so it is extra important that is always on the fresh side. It must never get too jammy or heavy this is one of the real challenges making wine in these warm years. A great mouth with the texture of what i call 3D tannins, this crazy balance between a relatively high pH and quite rich tannins. This is the hallmark of great Tinto Fino from Ribera del Duero. And in 2021 they hit it spot on. Not to talk about the length that carries the wine back and lingers. This is like a replay of the great 2000 Pingus.
