Beskrivelse
Årgang 2020 er mere balanceret og tilgængelig end 2019, uden at miste dybden.
-
Druer: Tempranillo suppleret af ca. 2–3 % Grenache og en lille andel Viura (~0,5 %).
-
Smag og stil: Mørke og mellem-mørke bær (brombær, blåbær, kirsebær), med noter af krydderier, kaffe og vanilje. Kombinationen af kraft og friskhed giver en mere harmonisk vin.
-
Lagring: Ca. 25 % nye franske fade kombineret med brugte Pingus-fade.
-
Potentiale: Høje anmeldelser, regnes for en stærk årgang. Drikkeklar tidligere end 2019, men kan udvikle sig flot med 10-15 års lagring.
There is around 20% new oak in the 2020 Flor de Pingus, and because it has a little younger vines (there was a land-consolidation project in La Horra in 2006!), there’ll be some Garnacha starting in 2021 and maybe some oak vats for aging too. All this shows the direction, where he found structure and volume in the palate, with textured tannins. It’s harmonious and elegant, aromatic and floral, perfumed and showy, with contained ripeness and around 14% alcohol. The palate is quite powerful, with abundant but fine tannins. 110,000 bottles were filled in July 2022.
