Dominio de Pingus - Flor de Pingus 2004

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The sublime 2004 Flor de Pingus lacks the pure size and power of the 2005 but more than makes up for it with a regal elegance. The aromatics are already revealing considerable complexity while on the palate it is succulent, impeccably balanced, and mouth-coating. Give it another 5-6 years of bottle age and drink it from 2015 to 2034."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Inky black in color, this is as close to opaque as a wine can get. Crazy non-stop aromas of coffee bean, licorice, blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, black cherry jam, truffle, spice and smoke pop with little effort. This is huge, yet perfectly balanced and in harmony. There is not a hair out of place. On the palate, the wine coats your palate, mouth, teeth and gums with the essence of pure, rich, extremely, ripe fruit. 2004 Pingus demands your attention. I am not sure I want to drink an entire bottle. But if anyone grabbed my unfinished glass without asking, there would be trouble. I wish I owned this wine to see how it ages and evolves over the next few decades."

WEINWISSER: "Süsses, duftiges, laktisches, frisches Bukett mit Himbeeryoghurt, Gummi, rote Beeren. Süsser, üppiger, trockender Gaumen mit sandigem Extrakt. Langer, trockener, würziger Abgang. 18/20 trinken - 2020"
