For Collectors: The Iconic Pingus

Few wines achieve true cult status. Pingus is one of them.

Born from the vision of Peter Sisseck in Ribera del Duero, Pingus has become a benchmark for Spanish wine and a reference point for collectors worldwide. Produced in extremely small quantities from old-vine Tempranillo, each bottle reflects meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. This is a wine crafted without shortcuts—and it shows in every vintage.

Pingus is celebrated for its depth, precision, and longevity. Concentrated yet remarkably refined, it delivers layers of dark fruit, spice, mineral complexity, and a seamless structure that evolves beautifully with age. Critics consistently rank it among the greatest wines of Spain, and demand continues to far outpace supply.

Alongside Pingus, we are also offering Flor de Pingus, Sisseck’s equally compelling second wine. While more approachable in its youth, Flor de Pingus retains the house signature: purity of fruit, balance, and serious aging potential. It is an outstanding opportunity to experience the Pingus philosophy at a more accessible level.

Allocations are limited, as always, and availability is fleeting. Whether you are looking to secure a cornerstone bottle for your cellar, enhance a world-class collection, or experience one of Spain’s most iconic wines firsthand, Pingus belongs on your short list.

	VM 93 (9/2014): Vivid ruby. Heady aromas of fresh blackberry, boysenberry and smoky minerals are complicated by pungent hints of vanilla, violet and allspice. Lush, intensely flavored and focused, offering deep dark berry and cherry compote flavors and a suave spicecake nuance. Finishes smooth, sweet and very long, with resonating spiciness, a hint of licorice and fully absorbed tannins. Josh Raynolds.

	NM 95 (12/2012): Tasted at “The Sampler” icon tasting in London. The 2001 Pingus has a beautiful nose with great delineation: dark plum, boysenberry, briary and crushed stone that soar from the glass in unison. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension and poise: hickory, smoke, minerals and white pepper. Good structure on the finish, compact and perhaps needing another few years in bottle. This is an impressive wine Mr Sisseck!   WA 95 (4/2004): The opaque ruby/purple-colored, firmly-structured 2001 Pingus is more closed and backward than the extravagantly rich, flamboyant 2000. It offers great fruit on the attack along with huge body, and notes of grilled meats intermixed with Provencal herbs, pepper, spice box, cigar smoke, and copious quantities of barbecue smoke-infused blackberry and cassis flavors. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2028.   VM 95 (10/2004): Deep, bright ruby-red. Cherry, licorice and smoked meat at the outset; then exploded with raspberry fruit. Lush, smooth and silky, with lovely inner-mouth perfume. Highly complex flavors of raspberry, minerals, bitter chocolate and smoky oak convey an extraordinary sweetness without any excess weight. Expands wonderfully on the extremely long, aromatic finish, which features noble, palate-dusting tannins. From the recorked bottle, the wine again began with dominant smoky, tarry torrefaction notes, and within minutes was taken over by red berries and flowers. More classic than the '03, but the 2003 may be even richer. Stephen Tanzer.   WS 93 (11/2004): Power and restraint join forces in this muscular red. Alluring spicy aromas give way to a thick palate with flavors of plum, coffee, tobacco and mineral, backed by firm tannins. It remains balanced and fresh on the long finish. Best after 2006. 500 cases made.
	2006	Pingus (6x750ML) ETA 90-120 Days; No cancellations or returns. This item may be subject to tariffs.	$5,909.97	1
	WA 98 (6/2010): The 2006 Pingus is a spectacular effort. A glass-staining saturated opaque purple, it delivers an other-worldly perfume of smoke, lavender, mineral, scorched earth, and an amalgam of kinky black fruits. Voluptuous on the palate in a measured way, it has superb balance, layered, complex flavors, ripe tannin that is entirely covered by the fruit, and a decade of aging potential. This monumental wine will evolve effortlessly for 10-15 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2036.   WS 95 (1/2012): Still young, this powerful red is thick with tannins. The cassis and black plum flavors are sweet and fresh, concentrated and focused. Best from 2014 through 2026. 555 cases made.   VM 95 (10/2008): Opaque purple. Powerful, mineral-driven aromas of blackberry, blueberry, creme de cassis, incense and floral oils. Fresh dark berry flavors are youthfully crunchy and strikingly pure, with mounting spiciness and minerality. Silky tannins add support to the broad, palate-staining fruit but quickly fade away, allowing the exotic dark berry flavors to stand out. The mineral element clings impressively on the long, sappy, sweet finish. A superb showing, and no doubt the last time I'll get to try this as it costs more per bottle than my car is worth. Josh Raynolds.
	2007	Pingus (12x750ML) ETA 90-120 Days; No cancellations or returns. This item may be subject to tariffs.	$14,505.97	1
	WA 98 (6/2010): Vintage conditions required a stricter selection for the 2007 Pingus. The aromatics are more brooding but seriously multifaceted. Smoke, pencil lead, truffle, Asian spices, blackberry, and licorice notes are followed by a chewy, dense, rich, powerful wine with fully integrated oak, savory black fruits, ripe tannins, and a decade of aging potential. Drink it from 2020 to 2037 if not longer.   VM 95 (10/2009): Glass-staining ruby. Pungent, mineral-driven aromas of black raspberry, bitter cherry, smoky minerals and potpourri, plus a sexy smoky note of cola. Sweet and powerful, with brilliant definition and intensity to the ripe dark berry and cherry flavors. Lush and creamy but energetic, with silky tannins giving shape to the expansive fruit. Highly concentrated but very young wine with a strong, sappy, penetrating finish that echoes the floral note. This is a weighty wine but there's no excess fat or thickness. Stash it away for at least another six years.   WS 93 (3/2013): The wine is round and supple, yet the well-integrated tannins give backbone to the red fruit and mint flavors. Balanced and fresh.—Non-blind Pingus vertical (January 2012). Drink now through 2017. 525 cases made.

	WA 99 (6/2010): The 2008 Pingus had just been bottled when I tasted it. Deep purple in color, it sports a splendid aromatic array of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, lavender, and black cherry. On the palate it exhibits Outstanding volume, intense fruit, power combined with elegance, and a long, smooth finish. It is a complete, virtually seamless wine that might one day achieve perfection. Give it 5-7 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2033.
