Le Pin, Pomerol

Notes

Wonderfully exotic and expressive bouquet of brambly fruit, black cherries, licorice, spice, minerals and truffles. Extremely aromatic, almost Richebourg like it is so seductive and sophisticated. Really complex, suave dark fruit core. Heady and decadent but superbly structured and cool. The texture is outstanding; pure velvet with wonderful length of flavour. In short – breathtaking.

Notes

The 2008 Le Pin has a sumptuous bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry, truffle, orange rind and light floral scents. It comes across as being fully mature although the palate indicates that it will gift a long drinking window. It offers plenty of raspberry and blackberry fruit, the tannins perhaps a little edgier than other vintages, a touch of graininess towards the fresh, mineral-driven finish. It is not the most voluptuous Le Pin, more reflective of the growing season than the terroir. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.)
