PSI 2019 Ribera Del Duero, Peter Sisseck

Robert Parker: 92-93 Point

Den efter hånden meget kendte danske vinproducent Peter Sisseck, er en af Spaniens bedste og hans vine er konsekvent med helt i top hvert år. Peter Sisseck laver vinen på sin vingård Quintanilla de Onesimo, den er lavet 100% på Tempranillo druen og lageret 14 måneder på nye franske egefade. Dejlig og afbalanceret tempranillo med en flot dyb rød farve og en behagelig smag af fad. Den har lidt friskhed i smagen som gør den som et godt supplement til svinekød.

The unbottled sample of the 2019 PSI—which should be bottled around June 2021 if all goes well—is slightly riper than the 2018 I tasted next to it, reflecting the warmer condition of the year. Starting in 2019, they have been working 50 hectares of the vineyards themselves, as they have rented them, with the idea to reach perhaps 100 hectares, half of those used, worked by themselves. This is marginally riper than the 2018, with a darker color, a little more ripeness and tannins with very tasty flavors, more immediate. It still has some months to go to polish the edges, but this is juicier and a little rounder. Yields were a little lower (hence more concentrated), so they expect to produce around 345,000 bottles.
I tasted the bottled 2018s from Dominio de Pingus and also the unbottled 2019s, as the wines are sold as "futures," or "en primeur," through their importers and then, in most cases, offered by the importers to their final customers. 2018 is a stellar vintage with an amazing Pingus and the best PSI to date. 2019 was warmer, but the wines have an unusual combination of ripeness and elegance that Sisseck told me he's never seen before. Some of the 2019s might end up being better than the 2018 counterparts. Today, the 2019 Flor de Pingus is showing exceptionally well.
