Tasting notes
Bright medium ruby. Black raspberry, tar, violet and roasted oak on the nose. Thick, velvety and wonderfully sweet, with compelling inner-mouth perfume and sap. Large-scaled, broad wine with superb palate coverage. Finishes with big, chocolatey tannins and excellent length. Peter Sisseck will not offer his grand vin Pingus in 2002; that juice forms the backbone of Flor de Pingus, making this a wine to buy.
