LE PIN 2012

Le Pin 2012 

Pomerol

Tissue wrapped

A phenomenon since it burst upon the scene in 1979, Le Pin is a product of the plateau of Pomerol, predominantly clay soil, the Merlot grape, new oak, low yields and the skills and perfectionism of the Thienpont family. I sometimes think Le Pin is more of an essence than a wine and its thick, voluptuous character is unlike any other, more classic, Pomerol. It has enormous, upfront appeal, black fruit and high glycerol impact. Demand for Le Pin runs to all four corners of the world, a wine with a truly international profile.

A nose of wonderful blackberry jam, the result of Merlot on the 'graves' soil. Caresses the palate with sweetness in the centre - a real 'bonbon anglais' wine! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
