Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2023

The bottled 2020 Pingus has settled, and the strong Mediterranean accent that was quite strong early on seems to have calmed down. The wine shows more of the serious Pingus character and is harmonious, balanced and...

The 2020 Pingus Tempranillo from Dominio de Pingus in Ribera Del Duero, Spain, is a red wine that has garnered significant attention from wine critics. This wine, with an alcohol content of 14.0%, has been noted for its complexity and potential for aging.

James Suckling from jamessuckling.com awarded this wine a score of 98 points. He described the wine as having "intense yet subtle aromas of crushed stone, dried violets, and sweet berries such as blackberries," with "ink undertones." Suckling emphasized the wine's full-bodied nature and powerful profile, which includes flavors of "black chocolate, hazelnut," and "bitter chocolate at the end with hints of coffee." He praised the harmonious and structured nature of the wine, recommending that it needs four to five years to open but will last beautifully for decades, suggesting to "try after 2027."

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave the 2020 Pingus an even higher score of 99 points. The review highlighted that the wine has "settled," and noted that the strong Mediterranean influence apparent early on has calmed down. The wine now shows "more of the serious Pingus character" and is described as "harmonious, balanced, and elegant." It is noted for its complete and intense character without being heavy, and the fruit is "very clean and focused." The quality of the tannins was particularly praised as "stunning," contributing to the wine's elegance and balance. The review compared this vintage favorably with previous notable years such as 1996, 2000, 2012, 2016, and 2018, although it did mention that it did not evoke the same emotional response as those vintages. The production was limited to 7,500 bottles, filled in July 2022.

Overall, the 2020 Pingus Tempranillo is a highly regarded wine with strong reviews, particularly noted for its intensity, balance, and potential for aging.
