A powerful Ribera del Duero red, Flor de Pingus is the second label of Dominio de Pingus. The 2006 vintage was reviewed by Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate as follows, `The 2006 Flor de Pingus is deep purple in color with a superb bouquet of toasty oak, spice box, mineral, incense, black cherry, and blackberry. Youthful, full-bodied, intense, and powerful on the palate, it retains an elegant personality despite its size.`
