Exceptional purity and a blockbuster nose of mocha, black cherry liqueur, mulberries and plums are followed by an extravagantly rich wine that seems to have a nearly endless finish. Truly haute couture of Merlot, so to speak, this wine has a finish that goes well past a minute, with wonderfully sweet tannins and a provocative, concentrated, broad mouthfeel that is remarkably luxurious. This is amazing stuff! It should drink well for 20-25 years. This is undeniably the greatest Le Pin I have tasted at such an infantile age. There are about 500 cases of this wine, which is made by the Thienpont family, the owners of Vieux Chateau Certan. One hundred percent Merlot, it continues to possess the exoticism of previous vintages, but the oak at present is far better crafted and integrated than in the debut vintage of 1979.

This is classic Merlot from Pomerol on the nose, with black licorice, black olive and rich fruit. Yet it?s subtle and pretty. Full-bodied, and chewy, with loads of power. Tannic and muscular. Chocolate, coffee and vanilla bean. I can?t remember a Le Pin like this. You'd have to go back to 1986, or 1983. Score range: 96-99 ?JS
99 James Suckling
This shows intense fruit, with plums, boysenberry and cherries with cocoa, black olives and coffee bean. Amazing aromas. Full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins and fabulous fruit. Such length and class to this. Wonderfully crafted. Best Le Pin since the perfect 1998. Try in 2020.

34 hal/ha. 13.5 Vol. %. Zwischen 22. und 25. September geerntet. Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Cassis und Maulbeeren in verschwenderischem Masse, dahinter eine Würze die an einen grossen, konzentrierten Richebourg erinnert, nobel, direkt und völlig geradlinig, je mehr man daran riecht desto mehr kommen viele kleine reife Beeren zum Vorschein mit einem parfümierten Merlotblütentouch. Im Gaumen Kokos, rote Pflaumen, Griottes-Kirschnetöne, Damassinepflaumen, viel Rosenpfeffer im noch dezent pikanten Extrakt eine dramatische Konzentration und gleichzeitig eine beschwingte Rasse ziegend, Redcurrant, Caramel und im Finale dezent dropsig was diesem genialen Le Pin eine verschwenderische Erotik verleiht. Sicherlich einer der allergrössten je produzierten Jahrgänge. Das burgundische kommt nochmals ganz am Schluss und gerade das macht ihn so einzigartig. Wie immer einer der wenigen Weine bei denen das Spucken nach der Verkostung ziemlich schwer fällt. warten (2016 - 2028)

Produttore
Château Le Pin
Senza dubbio la proprietà più petite del Pomerol, se non addirittura di tutta Bordeaux, Château Le Pin produce i Merlot più importanti del mondo. Per il proprietario Jacques Thienpont, tutto iniziò come un hobby solo vent'anni fa, ma ora le bottiglie di Le Pin sono i pezzi forti delle aste, considerate delle rarità esclusive. Maturo, opulento e accessibile: questi sono solo alcuni termini per descrivere il vino sontuoso affinato in rovere che si nasconde in una bottiglia di Le Pin. Con una storia piuttosto recente, la prima annata del Grand Vin Le Pin fu prodotta nel 1979, lo stesso anno in cui Thienpont acquistò la tenuta di soli 1,6 ettari. Oggi la proprietà si estende su oltre 5 ettari. Le uve sono raccolte a mano e fermentate in contenitori di acciaio inossidabile prima dell'affinamento in barrique di rovere nuovo per 14-18 mesi. La tenuta è stata completamente riattrezzata con nuove strutture di vinificazione. Jacques lavora insieme alla consulente vinificatrice Dany Rolland, moglie del celeberrimo vigneron Michel, mentre Alexandre Thienpont gestisce i vigneti. Tra i vini più esotici provenienti dalla Sponda Destra di Bordeaux, Le Pin è un vino eccezionale e la sua produzione estremamente limitata contribuisce ad accrescere il suo appeal a livello mondiale.
