Brimming with intensity, the 2015 'La Flor De Pingus' is a powerful Ribera which needs more than one hour of air contact before it begins to show its best stuff. It begins with wonderful aromatics of dark kirsch, toasty oak, chocolate and coffee grounds with earthy undertones. The mouthfeel and sumptuous texture is stunning and entices just as much as the earthy terroir driven character. Showing rich viscosity, this drifts into copious dark fruits and chocolate with fig compote and wild mushroom flavors that all mingle nicely. This is downright stunning, however readers should plan on cellaring this as it will continue to drink beautifully as it evolves over the course of the next fifteen plus years.
