DOMINIO DE PINGUS 2005 "PINGUS" RIBERA DEL DUERO TEMPRANILLO - 750ML

99 POINTS ROBERT PARKER:
The 2005 Pingus spent 18 months in new oak. It is purple/black and a bit muted at present. However, notes of toasty new oak, mineral, scorched earth, espresso, blueberry, and blackberry can be discerned. The wine has great balance, sweet fruit, and poise but it will need 12-15 years of cellaring. It should drink well through 2050. It is a true tour de force. Kudos to Peter Sisseck for a brilliant and enthralling set of wines.
