Le Pin 2010

Le Pin

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 100.0

Le Pin, named after the solitary pine tree in this tiny 5 hectare plot, is an exceptionally low yielding piece of land in the heart of Pomerol, owned by the Thienponts since the late ’70s. The tiny production lends to the cult status it has achieved.

James Suckling

Dreamlike deep nose with blackberries, graphite and some smoky notes. Opens with licorice, vanilla and red fruit. Full and intensely fruity on the palate with lots of dark berries. Complex, dense and deeply structured with polished tannins and a great finish that just goes on and on. The balance is amazing. Even better than 2009. Drink from 2018.

Jane Anson

Laden with pleasure, this showcases an exuberant side of 2010, where the seductive, languorous beauty of Le Pin fully proves its worth. The emphasis is on powerful spices, chocolate pod and coffee bean, zaatar and anis. Powerfully concentrated and still fairly closed, you can approach now but it will need longer to fully open up, and as is so often the case with Le Pin, there are various things happening at once, with the silky exuberance a pleasurable misdirection away from the serious levels of tannin and power.
