Tasting

To the eye

A deep ruby-red colour with purplish highlights; dense and brilliant.

Nose

An intense and highly expressive nose, blending blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, black cherry, violet, liquorice, cocoa, coffee, fine leather, sweet spices, vanilla and delicate toasted notes that are perfectly integrated with the fruit.

Palate

The attack is full-bodied, velvety and generous. On the palate, it reveals superb concentration of dark fruit, extremely refined tannins, remarkable freshness and exceptional balance. The finish is long, elegant and mineral, characterised by notes of cocoa, spices and ripe fruit.

Pairing

This 2018 Flor de Pingus is the perfect accompaniment to a matured rib of beef, a Rossini-style fillet of beef or a roast rack of lamb. It will also bring out the best in game dishes, duck breast and meat stews with mushrooms. To finish the meal, it pairs perfectly with a mature Manchego or other full-flavoured cheeses. We recommend serving it at between 16 and 18 °C, after decanting for one to two hours to allow its full aromatic complexity to develop.

Aging potential

Already impressive after just a few years in the bottle, the 2018 Flor de Pingus has an ageing potential of 15 to 20 years, during which time it will continue to develop in complexity and finesse.

Your questions, our answers.

Should I wait a long time before opening Flor de Pingus 2018?

It is designed to be approachable at a younger age than Pingus, so a long wait is not essential to enjoy it. It also has excellent aging potential, but the information provided does not specify an exact aging period.

Why choose the 2018 vintage rather than an earlier year?

The climatic conditions in 2018 were more balanced than in previous years, allowing freshness and excellent grape ripeness to go hand in hand. This is a vintage to choose if you are looking for that combination, although a precise comparison with another year cannot be made here.

Is Flor de Pingus 2018 a good choice if I prefer to avoid reds strongly marked by new oak?

Only a small proportion of new oak is used for aging in French oak, which is a useful point of reference for your choice. However, this does not mean that oak-aging aromas are absent: their intensity is not specified in the description.

Is this a wine to choose primarily for its power?

Power is part of its profile, but it is accompanied by refinement and freshness stemming from the vintage conditions. It is therefore better suited to those looking for a red that combines breadth and balance than to those seeking power alone.

What occasion is Flor de Pingus 2018 suited for?

A tasting focused on Spanish reds or Tempranillo is a fitting occasion: this wine is made exclusively from Tinto Fino, the local name for Tempranillo. Its powerful yet refined profile also makes it a good choice for an occasion when you want to take the time to appreciate the wine on its own.
