I met @Aaron Hamrock on Wednesday and the first wines he shared were a ‘86 Mouton (my Red Wine of the trip), a ‘90 Beausajor a ‘07 Larkmead Lark and this, the holy grail of Spanish wines. Pretty solid intro. This was rich and round but still not fully strutting in my opinion. If the dinner was 2 hours longer and it hadn’t been completely drained it would have been interesting to see where this went. I say hold if you have one, which you probably don’t.

While it is a privilege to taste, I didn't enjoy this 2010 pingus that much. Maybe it's the youth or maybe not. Concentrated with a ton of oak and a noticeable cough syrup quality. Very big, high alc and structured. Not my cup of tea now and not sure it ever will be.
