The blackberries, iron shavings and black olives on the nose are captivating. Full-bodied with lots of toffee and smoky undertones to the ripe and round tannins. Very exciting and flavorful with softness and beauty. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.

Tasted blind. Blackish crimson. High toned. Really very well composed with sweetness and tea leaves and no excess of tannins. Quite spicy. Smooth with a suggestion of cough linctus. Long. (JR)
About the producer

Owned by Jacques Thienpont, Le Pin is, without doubt, one of the most famous names in wine. One of the three great names of Pomerol, alongside Pétrus and Ch. Lafleur, it is one of the rarest, most expensive and finest wines in Bordeaux – if not the world.
