The 2011 Pingus mesmerizes with an explosion of ripe black fruits on the nose, belied by provocative undertones of violet and mint. On the palate, it unravels with stunning complexity, revealing layers of blackcurrant laced with hints of licorice and warm spice. This grand wine continues to enchant on multiple levels with its beautifully sculpted tannins and velvety mouthfeel hurrying towards a formidable finish.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

As with all the 2011s, the 2011 Pingus is riper, with never-seen-before alcohol levels (15.5%), but the wine feels extremely balanced. As usual, the highly-selected grapes were fermented in 2,000-liter oak vats with indigenous yeasts and aged for 22 months in second-and third-fill barrels. It is ripe and exuberant, with notes of violets, spices (curry!), smoky peat and umami-like meat-broth aromas. The palate is full-bodied, glyceric with sophisticated tannins, but plenty of them, so they need to calm down a little. I believe there will be a lot of people who will really love this 2011, it's showy and exuberant. 6,000 bottles produced. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2035
