Pingus - Sissec, P., Pingus 1997

87 / 100 Robert Parker
The 1997 Pingus displayed the same herbaceous note that was noted in its youth by Robert Parker and with age it is simply part of a rather dour bouquet that lacks the joie-de-vivre one finds on other vintages. The palate is nothing to really be ashamed of, but it lacks excitement and ambition. If I had any bottles in my cellar, I would enjoy what you get out of them now, as I suspect they are best their best. Drink now.

89 / 100 Wine Spectator
Alluring toast and chocolate notes from oak add depth and sweetness to this ripe, round red. It has a polished, generous texture, and plum and cherry flavors that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2005.
