Pingus Ribera Del Duero 1998

Pingus 1998

DKK 6995

Et absolut samlerobjekt fra et af Spaniens største kulthuse

Dominio de Pingus Ribera Del Duero is in the top three of Spains most expensive wines. The Pingus estate has a small but highly regarded portfolio consisting of this flagship Pingus wine, Amelia, Flor de Pingus and PSI. With an average price of €900 it’s not exactly budget-friendly, but with an aggregated score of 95 points, this pure Tempranillo doesn’t disappoint.

Dominio de Pingus Ribera del Duero was first made in 1995 by Danish winemaker Peter Sisseck. He took that wine to the Bordeaux en primeur tastings and it caused a sensation when it gained a 96-100 rating from Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate. Production is only around 6600 bottles per year – around one-tenth of that of junior wine Flor de Pingus

The 1998 Pingus has evolved an intriguing, almost animally bouquet with touches of leather, espresso, melted tar and dark chocolate. Interestingly, it seems more mature when compared to the 1995. There is a sweet, sappy entry on the palate with an almost vitamin-like purity. However, there is a sense of monotony towards the finish, like a violinist refusing to move his fingers down the frets. It is pleasurable, but it does not really go anywhere, rending the finish a little static. Drink now-2018+.

Beskrivelse

Pingus 1998

Peter Sisseck

There are many reasons why Pingus is one of Spain’s cult wines. It was the first garagiste wine to be made in the country; it became the most expensive Spanish wine overnight (a bottle costs around €900) and its creator was a Dane who had settled in Ribera del Duero…

Peter Sisseck arrived in Castilla-León in the 1980s to become technical director at Hacienda Monasterio. As he settled there he decided to launch his own project so he scouted the region for vines. The Barroso vineyard in the village of La Horra (Burgos) is valued for the quality of its old vines planted on a gravel strip over a clay-limestone base with excellent drainage properties. Parrondo and other adjoining vineyards with similar features were added. Today, the 5,000 Pingus bottles produced annually come from a total of 4.5 hectares.

Sisseck’s connections in Bordeaux, such as négociant and iconoclast garage wine producer Jean-Claude Thunevin, helped to get Parker to taste the first vintage -a mere 12 barrels produced in 1995. The critic gave it 95 points, the highest ever for a Spanish wine until that date. In addition, the boat that transported the first Pingus bottles to the US was shipwrecked, which resulted in super premium prices from the moment it reached the market.

The 1998 Pingus has evolved an intriguing, almost animally bouquet with touches of leather, espresso, melted tar and dark chocolate. Interestingly, it seems more mature when compared to the 1995. There is a sweet, sappy entry on the palate with an almost vitamin-like purity. However, there is a sense of monotony towards the finish, like a violinist refusing to move his fingers down the frets. It is pleasurable, but it does not really go anywhere, rending the finish a little static. Drink now-2018+.
