99 points Jay S. Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Pingus had just been bottled when I tasted it. Deep purple in color, it sports a splendid aromatic array of smoke, mineral, Asian spices, incense, lavender, and black cherry. On the palate it exhibits outstanding volume, intense fruit, power combined with elegance, and a long, smooth finish. It is a complete, virtually seamless wine that might one day achieve perfection. Give it 5-7 years of cellaring and drink it from 2016 to 2033. (6/28/10)"

97 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2008 Pingus is one of the finest that I have tasted. It is closed on the nose at first, broody even, and giving it a few encouraging swirls is akin to awakening a giant. It opens gloriously with small dark cherries, black olives, crushed stone and violet, an underlying minerality that is difficult to ignore. The palate is blessed with a Chateau Margaux-like sense of symmetry that leads to a tensile, precise finish that carries on for a minute in the mouth. This will turn out to be an awesome Pingus. Drink 2018-2040. (8/30/12)"

96 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "(100% tempranillo). Colour: cherry, garnet rim. Nose: expressive, elegant, ripe fruit, mineral, spicy. Palate: flavourful, spicy, creamy, good acidity, long. (2011)"
