This is very firm and fresh with mineral, stone and violet. Dark fruits too. Full body, silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Beautiful now. By James Suckling, Jul 2015.
Vivid purple. Ripe cherry, cassis, potpourri and cracked pepper on the intensely perfumed nose, with subtle licorice and woodsmoke qualities adding complexity. Deep, sweet and expansive, offering explosive dark berry compote, floral pastille and anise flavors. A spicy quality gains strength on the finish, which leaves smoke and mineral notes behind. This bottling has been going from strength to strength in recent years and offers superb value relative to its ritzy Pingus sibling. By Vinous, Sep 2012.
The 2010 Flor de Pingus is raised in 40% to 50% new French oak (Darnajou and Taransaud). It has a superb bouquet that is taut at first, but unfolds beautifully with very pure small dark cherries, cassis, orange blossom and a faint, attractive note of strawberry cheesecake. The palate is medium-bodied with sumptuous, plush tannins counterbalanced by the crisp thread of acidity. It has great clarity and tension with vibrant allspice and white pepper notes towards the finish that closes down a little, suggesting that it will need two or three years in bottle. Excellent. By Neal Martin @ Wine Advocate, Aug 2012.
This muscular red offers savory flavors of tobacco, earth and game, with a core of plum fruit and bitter chocolate. A rugged structure appears under the polished texture. Wine Spectator, Sep 2013. |
