An iconic Pomerol displaying aromas of black cherry, plum, truffle, violet, cedar, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Silky and beautifully evolved, it offers extraordinary depth, seamless texture, refined elegance, and a remarkably persistent finish that defines one of Bordeaux's greatest wines.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, truffle risotto, venison, aged Gruyère, wild mushrooms, or filet mignon.
99 Points- James Suckling
This is really pure and primary with very clean and bright aromas of crushed grapes. Minerally and floral with brightness and vividness. Just a hint of smoke and meat. Medium-bodied with a tight and poised center palate and a racy finish. Structured in a classic, great Bordeaux way. Needs five or six years to come together and soften, but this is seamless and wonderful. Drink after 2030 and beyond.
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
raspberries and blackberries mingled with notions of pencil shavings, spices, black truffle and licorice, framed by a discreet touch of new oak (only 55% new this year). Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's suave and sensual, with a fleshy core of fruit and beautifully refined tannins and concludes with a long, rose-inflected finish. Le Pin, after all, is an early-ripening, well-drained terroir, so it's hardly surprising that it should perform especially well in a vintage like 2021.
