Wine Advocate (100)I was really looking forward to the bottled version of the 2018 Pingus after a great showing of the cask sample last year. Part of the wine matured in 20,000-liter oak casks, so it's not all barrique. This is the first time they used the vats, and based on the results, Sisseck thinks in the future Pingus will be around 50% in oak vats. The Pingus vines were planted in 1929 in two different sectors of the village of La Horra, Barroso and San Cristobal and contain some 2% other varieties. The vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic and are manicured like few vineyards in Spain. The wine is subtle and harmonious, elegant and insinuating, with all the components in very good balance. This is precise and pure; Sisseck is thorough and meticulous, and the wine shows that precision. This follows the line of the 2016, showing very well even if it was bottled only one month before I tasted it. 9,300 bottles were filled in August 2020. |

Wine Advocate (99)I tasted the bottled 2019 Pingus two weeks after bottling. Even at this early stage and after the operation, the wine is super harmonious and elegant. They really outdid themselves here and produced an amazingly fresh, aromatic and harmonious wine in a warm vintage. It's incredibly textured, with refined, very fine-grained and chalky tannins. It's very balanced, and there's no excess of anything; it has 14% alcohol, perfect ripeness and a velvety mouthfeel. It gets more floral with time in the glass, getting nuanced and really interesting. It delivers what the barrel sample promised one year ago, when the wine already surprised me. I think the word that best describes this wine is precision—it's clean, focused, balanced and delineated. Bravo! 7,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2021. |

Wine Advocate (100)Sisseck believes the texture of the 2021 Pingus is the finest he has achieved since the beginning and something that the Tempranillo does very well. There is a chalky feeling, which is not surprising, because the mother rock is pure limestone—even if some plots (Barroso) have more clay on top, deeper down is hard limestone and some sandstone. There is a sense of harmony and purity that I see in most of the 2021s. There's more depth, more concentration and more tannin here, and it's a wine for the very long haul; it's very, very young, but it's super harmonious and balanced. There's energy, clout and power but with great finesse. They have learned to control the extraction, and all of the grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts (each plot ferments on its own, there's no pied de cuve or anything); they are very careful to decide the moment they press, tasting a lot with a lot of precision, getting samples and sitting down to taste every day after the wine has fermented dry. He fermented the wine with some 30% of the clusters, which are selected at the sorting table when they see a perfect bunch. When they have full clusters, they have to do a delicate pigeage (not the case in 2022, but he used some in 2023). This is a super elegant and powerful Pingus that should age for a very, very long time in bottle. It very much follows the style of the years I like the most: 1996, 2016 and 2018. 7,974 bottles were filled in June 2023. |

Vinous (90+)(bottled in January of this year; began in 20% new oak and 80% _cuve, then was assembled in old barrels after the malolactic fermentation): Medium yellow. Strong vanillin oak on the nose. Ripe, plush and dry, with the stone fruit flavors currently dominated by oak spice and caramel. Still a bit youthfully austere but fresher than the Cuvée Authentique. Will it absorb the vanillin oak? |

Vinous (93+)(bottled in January of 2016; all of the premier crus were bottled just before the 2015 harvest): Bright yellow. Yeasty baked bread and rocky calcaire dominate the nose. Dense, full and energetic; fat and silky for the vintage but classically dry and stony. Subtle notes of pineapple and flowers add complexity. Best today on the subtle, slowly mounting back end, which spreads out to saturate the palate with liquid stone. Not yet especially demonstrative but, with its penetrating stony minerality, this wine is built for a long life in bottle. |

Vinous (90+)(bottled in January of this year; began in 20% new oak and 80% _cuve, then was assembled in old barrels after the malolactic fermentation): Medium yellow. Strong vanillin oak on the nose. Ripe, plush and dry, with the stone fruit flavors currently dominated by oak spice and caramel. Still a bit youthfully austere but fresher than the Cuvée Authentique. Will it absorb the vanillin oak? |

Vinous (93+)(bottled in January of 2016; all of the premier crus were bottled just before the 2015 harvest): Bright yellow. Yeasty baked bread and rocky calcaire dominate the nose. Dense, full and energetic; fat and silky for the vintage but classically dry and stony. Subtle notes of pineapple and flowers add complexity. Best today on the subtle, slowly mounting back end, which spreads out to saturate the palate with liquid stone. Not yet especially demonstrative but, with its penetrating stony minerality, this wine is built for a long life in bottle. |

Vinous (90+)Good bright medium red. Plum, redcurrant, strawberry, mint, spices, earth and dried flowers on the nose, plus a whiff of leather. Tactile and rich, displaying good medicinal reserve to the flavors of red fruits, chocolate and herbs. Shows a slight dryness with air but this is not particularly austere. With its depth of flavor and dusty tannins, this is built to age. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92)Super-exuberant aromatics jump from the glass of the 2019 Barbaresco, which is flush with rose petal, anise, orange peel, and raspberry. It has good concentration and elegant fruit of cranberry throughout, with fine tannins and sandy earth. This is a refreshing and graceful wine to drink 2024-2035. |
