Tasting profile
Flor de Pingus shows layered black fruit and raspberry alongside violets, cinnamon, clove, caramel, and a whisper of sweet pipe tobacco smoke. Full-bodied and silky with notable freshness, fine balance and length, it opens after about 20 minutes of air and rewards a few years of cellaring.

What reviewers say
“This is absolutely by fare the best wine I've ever tasted. Served New Year's Eve 2012 to a roasted veal. Temperature 19c, four hours breathing.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine is very aromatic and expressive, floral and spicy, with the oak nicely folded into ripe fruit. It's powerful and full-bodied showing also approachability and appeal. The tannins are very fine and the finish is quite remarkable.
Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus is a red from Ribera del Duero, Spain, made from Tempranillo. It sits in the $120-and-up band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $130.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 434 other reds from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 8,090 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 8,300 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Spain (435 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 8,090.
