The 2000 Flor de Pingus exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, a roasted meat/creosote-scented nose, and big, meaty, herb-tinged flavors that are both substantial and opulent. Fleshy and chewy, it is a hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on to enjoy over the next 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity 2004-2012. - Robert Parker 2004 -
