PSI 2020 - Dominio de Pingus – Peter Sisseck

Degustationsnotizen

In der Nase Noten von roten, leicht süßlichen Früchten, dezent florale Noten und perfekt integriertes warmes Eichenholz, am Gaumen angenehm voll, rund und rein. Ein Wein mit unglaublicher Frische, Eleganz und trotzdem beeindruckendem Körper bei perfekter Balance. PSI ist ein neues Projekt in dem Peter Sisseck versucht, Ribera del Duero Weine in einem völlig neuen Licht zu beleuchten.

Die Idee hinter PSI ist, den Kooperativen zu helfen, besseren Wein zu produzieren und langfristig auf organischen Weinbau umzustellen.

Auszeichnungen
92/100 James Suckling (JG 2020)
Dried lemon rind and blueberries with sliced mushrooms on the nose. Bark too. Medium to full-bodied with firm tannins that are rather minerally and salty in nature. Crushed stone and powerful in the texture. A little rustic but real. Old vine character. Drink or hold.

93/100 Robert Parker (JG 2020)
In 2020, he reached the target he set for himself when PSI first started, to produce around 300,000 bottles (it's actually 350,000 bottles). The volume of the 2020 PSI is something that's important, as it has availability and affordability, which is necessary when based on quality, purchasing only grapes from old vines (they use 7,000 plots for this volume!). So, they also started purchasing some of those vineyards in 2022 (they think they need 200 hectares to keep the volume, so the aim is to own maybe half of it). Peter Sisseck remarked that we have to remember 2020 was a warm year, but with the high content of limestone in the soils, the wine has kept very good freshness. They harvested early, before the rain, and they also used some 5% to 10% Garnacha (they could use up to 25%, according to regulations) in the blend to lower the pH of the wine. Below 3.8, he thinks, the wines from the zone are very angular and hard if it's only Tempranillo, so Garnacha (which doesn't have as much tannins as Tempranillo) can help with that; but the difficulty is finding Garnacha grapes, so they are considering planting some Garnacha for the future. The bottled wine has all that the sample promised—clean and healthy aromas, floral and elegant, aromatic and with good freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, with elegant tannins, pleasant and easy to drink. 350,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022

92/100 Wine Spectatot (JG 2020)
Plum sauce and pureed blackberry flavors are an enticing entry to this harmonious red, whose fruit profile and accents of black tea, iron and spice are layered with creamy yet sculpted tannins that firm the lasting finish. Drink now through 2028. 29,000 cases made.
