Lot Details
Description
Le Pin 2010
Pomerol
Excellent level and appearance, plain wax capsule
Glorious Merlot, plummy nose. Great cassis liqueur taste. Rich and full of glycerol, especially on a sample from a Séguin Moreau cask. The sample from a Taransaud cask was even finer, but with less bouquet. In the end, of course, you get the whole thing, once assembled! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
