Le Pin

Case Format: 3x75cl

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.

Jancis Robinson

First bottle: Tasted blind. Herbal. Looks quite evolved. Inky and juicy. Lovely now but it seems rather dangerously evolved. Gorgeously ripe and long though. Very sweet and not as fresh as one would like.[I subsequently enquired whether it would be at all possible to taste a second bottle. Second bottle: Still looks quite evolved. Very sweet start but much fresher than the first bottle. Agreeable and advanced. Quite rich and solid but not thrilling nor particularly energetic. Though it does grow on the end which is rather impressive.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Le Pin hits the dance floor with a completely gregarious nose of plum preserves, blackberry tart and wild blueberries, boldly accented by suggestions of Chinese five spice, cigar boxes, menthol and violets plus an earthy waft of underbrush. Full-bodied, concentrated, muscular and earthy with a firm backbone of exquisitely ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, it has an incredibly long finish featuring exotic spice and mineral layers.
