Pingus Flor de Pingus 2021

Dark cherry, blueberry, dried rose and a brush of garrigue, the 2021 Flor de Pingus, drawn from multiple La Horra vineyards and aged 18 months in French oak, leads with a nose that's composed rather than showy. Dry and velvety on the mouth, with chalky tannins that grip cleanly and a pulsing inner energy that compensates for the wine's modest freshness. Oak stays well in the background, letting the fruit and mineral character carry the weight. A confident, thoroughly pleasurable Tempranillo that knows exactly what it is.
