Bordeaux Blend · Pomerol
93 points from Robert Parker, and only 492 cases made.
“Tasted blind, I mistook the 2006 Le Pin for the 2005, and it is drinking very well today, bursting with aromas of dark berries, incense, sweet spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with an ample core of rich, succulent fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.”

Chateau Le Pin
2006 Bordeaux Blend, PomerolLe Pin is a tiny 6-acre property in the Pomerol district of Bordeaux. It was created in 1979 by the Thienpont family (owners of nearby Vieux Château Certan), and quickly rose to prominence to vie for the title of most expensive wine in the world.
The 100 percent Merlot wine is extremely concentrated and lush; it can often be drunk young but is best with a decade of aging.
The Le Pin vineyard is south-facing and sits on well-drained gravel and sand soils which give extremely low yields. There is also a small amount of Cabernet Franc planted. However, this not used in the Le Pin wine, and is gradually being replaced by Merlot.
Le Pin is named after two pine trees at the vineyard. There is no true château on the property, though a new winery was opened in 2011, replacing an old farmhouse basement.
3 bottles, 3 x 750ml, of the 2006 vintage.
