Tasting Notes

A candidate for perfection, the profound 2003 Pingus possesses an awesome smoky, blackberry, and cassis-scented nose intermixed with hints of espresso roast, lead pencil shavings, cedar, and subtle new oak. Sensational concentration, a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood, and a blockbuster finish lasting nearly a minute result in one of the most profound wines ever made in Spain. It should age effortlessly for two decades or more.A limited cuvee, named after the importer's daughter, the 2003 Amelia, is produced from 100-year old vines. Although there are only 25 cases available, it is worth noting as it is a super effort boasting all the same characteristics as the great Pingus, only lacking that wine's extra nuances and dimensions in its bouquet and flavor profiles. These are the wines of a true genius! Kudos to Peter Sisseck.
