Pingus - Peter Sisseck Dominio de Pingus 1995 in 12er Holzkiste

Jancis Robinson: Debut vintage, very experimental but hugely successful. Deep crimson with slightly faded rim but no sign of orange. Intensely gamey, meaty nose with whiffs of blackberry. Full, very thick entry on the palate, significant acidity and tannins quite amazingly recessed. Not to say almost undiscernible. Lovely mellow mouthful. With game please. Very, very slightly short? This was the vintage of which quite a quantity was lost mid-Atlantic when the boat carrying it went down. More's the pity. (18.5/20, 2008)

Jeff Leve: The debut vintage of Pingus from Peter Sisseck offers layers of sweet, ripe, black fruits, licorice, espresso bean, earth, jam, smoke and spice. Rich, deep and concentrated with opulent, lush textures, this is drinking great today. (95/100, 2012)
