Le Pin is a Pomerol red produced exclusively from Merlot grown on a small vineyard of gravel, clay, and sand with iron-rich traces. Fermentation takes place in small stainless-steel vats, followed by maturation in new oak barrels, yielding a concentrated wine from exceptionally limited production.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted duck breast, beef tenderloin, braised lamb, or truffle risotto.
87 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Served blind alongside the 1981 Petrus, the wine retained noticeable toasty new-oak character, with herbaceous and sweet black-cherry notes. Medium-bodied, elegant, soft and fully mature, it was judged very good rather than exceptional, with earlier encounters having shown more memorably.
