Note di degustazione
Vivid ruby. Expressive aromas of blackberry preserves, bitter chocolate and coffee, with mounting spiciness. Then ripe and juicy in the mouth, with explosive primary flavors of blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate. Boasts impressive richness but also shows real finesse. Finishes sweet and spicy, with silky tannins and superb length. This is built to age but also drinks very well right now.

The 2009 Amelia (25 cases – 1 barrel) somehow ups the ante with its creamy texture, refined personality, and 60-second finish. It, too, will enjoy a lengthy lifespan of 30-40 years if not longer. Dominio de Pingus is where Peter Sisseck, Danish ex-pat, works his magic. Having visited the cellars in May 2010 where I first tasted these wines and again in February 2011 with the importer, there is no doubting that these (along with the 2004s) are the greatest wines of Sisseck’s career. Pingus is pricy (but no more expensive than a Bordeaux First Growth) while Flor de Pingus (as they say in boxing) is pound for pound one of the great values in winedom. These 2009s (all 100% Tempranillo) are barrel samples but since they will go into bottle without manipulation the consumer can have complete confidence in what is being purchased.
