The go to wine of my young 20s. It’s still a great bang for the buck. Medium bodied and versatile, it’s peppery on the nose and palate. Like in life, give it a minute to breathe and you’ll be rewarded with hints of dark berries. Maybe even black cherry… — 21 days ago

It’s been a hot second since I’ve come across this wine. Was a great value before, the price has gone up, and still a good drink! — 14 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistently enjoyable throughout, but best after several hours of air and through Day 3. The wine pours, a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. No signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with expressive notes of ripe and dried cherry, plums, toasted coconut, fresh dill, cedar chest, and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however, the fruit is much more tart. The finish is long and tangy. A textbook example of old-school Rioja. Lovely. Drink now with patience and through 2036. — 18 days ago

Splash decanted immediately prior to service; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2021 Flor de Pingus pours a deep, nearly impenetrable ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of predominantly, black fruit: blackberries and black cherries with cigar box, burnt toast, chocolate, and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and tongue smacking. Let’s be real: the 2021 is a wee babe at this point and will benefit from significant cellar time. If you’re like me and curious, drink now with patience. Otherwise, better after 2031 through 2046. — a month ago

100% Tempranillo, about 12 mos in mostly new French oak. Deep Ruby, aromas of dark fruits, spice, floral and earthy oak. On the palate flavors of fresh blackberry & currants with tobacco, licorice and gentle bits of cedar. Tannins, are tight supporting the backbone of the wine, needs more bottle age, resist opening now. Well balance with acidity, full body, long finish ends with some fruit, spice, and earthy character. Nice! — 24 days ago
