Beskrivelse
Årgang 2019 i Ribera del Duero var præget af varme forhold og lavt udbytte, men med stor koncentration og balance i druerne. For Pingus gav dette en vin med både kraft og elegance.
-
Farve: Dyb, næsten uigennemsigtig rubinrød.
-
Næse: Intens aroma af modne mørke bær som brombær og solbær, med lag af violer, grafit, lakrids, tobak og subtile krydderier fra fadet.
-
Smag: Fyldig og silkeblød struktur med modne tanniner, stor frugtintensitet og en bemærkelsesværdig friskhed, der balancerer vinens kraft. Lang, vedvarende eftersmag med mineralske nuancer.
-
Stil: Klassisk Pingus – koncentreret men samtidig raffineret og præcis. 2019 anses for at være en af de store årgange med fremragende lagringspotentiale (20+ år).

I tasted the bottled 2019 Pingus two weeks after bottling. Even at this early stage and after the operation, the wine is super harmonious and elegant. They really outdid themselves here and produced an amazingly fresh, aromatic and harmonious wine in a warm vintage. It’s incredibly textured, with refined, very fine-grained and chalky tannins. It’s very balanced, and there’s no excess of anything; it has 14% alcohol, perfect ripeness and a velvety mouthfeel. It gets more floral with time in the glass, getting nuanced and really interesting. It delivers what the barrel sample promised one year ago, when the wine already surprised me. I think the word that best describes this wine is precision—it’s clean, focused, balanced and delineated. Bravo! 7,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2021.
