----------
Pingus is a renowned Spanish winery, named "Pingus" after its owner Peter Sisseck's childhood nickname. While the flagship Pingus wine enjoys international fame, Flor De Pingus is sometimes referred to as the "second wine." However, unlike typical Bordeaux second wines, Flor De Pingus is not made from younger or leftover grapes from Pingus. Instead, it is produced from independent vineyards. Remarkably, its price is only about one-tenth of the flagship Pingus, offering exceptional value.
----------
Vinous:

“Inky ruby. Potent, mineral- and smoke-accented dark berry and violet scents show excellent clarity and lift.
Silky and seamless in texture, offering sweet blackberry and boysenberry flavors and notes of spicecake and floral pastilles.
Closes with strong thrust, appealing sweetness and sneaky, slow-mounting tannins.”
