Dominio de Pingus
Ribera del Duero Tempranillo


A very well made wine though alcoholic. Went very well with Spanish tapas and Paella. Could do with more complexity

Today I arrived on Planet Pingus π
A special treat for our vacation & my first Pingus thatβs been on my wishlist for soooo long π Found at β¬950 in a restaurant, which for a 100 Parker Pointer that retails at Β£1,450 in π¬π§, I had to try π & It sure did not disappoint π It is one of the best wines Iβve EVER had π See photos on Instagram π
Mrs E sat there trying this and said βIβve decided my life is not too shabbyβ π€£ππ€£
π Dominio de Pingus - Pingus 2004
π₯© Paired w/ a shed load of red meats (see pics β©)
π΅ 99 points w/ 100 potential given 5-10 years & better than Ch. Margaux 1990 by far π just needs a little more dry tannin integration π
π Tempranillo
π₯ 14.8% ABV but not evident
π· Opaque ruby w/ brick edge
π Explosion of rich coffee, thick chocolate, earthy dark cherry, spiced raspberry, black Forest gateaux & oak w/ black berry fruits, date, prune & herbs - itβs a Spanish aromatic orgasm
π Med+ body of super creamy silky punchy yet refined dark cherry oozing through decadent chocolate & raspberry coulis w/ mocha & lashings of choc cherry gateaux
π― Long choc cherry gateaux full on mouth coating explosion w/ a coffee shot chaser
π Mrs E has something to say about this wine so check the first comment from @loularo on Instagram π€£
