Holding on very well; a delicious bottle. Soft and plummy, with smoky, light coffee bean aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with velvety texture and a long finish.

This micro-estate is easy to criticize given the absurd prices ($8,000-$12,000 per case!) the 500 or so cases fetch in the auction markets. Le Pin is one of the most exotic, concentrated, flashy wines of Bordeaux, but when it is selling at six times the price of wines such as Clinet, La Conseillante, L'Evangile, and La Fleur de Gay, readers are justified in thinking that some wine buyers have lost their sense of reality. The 1993 reveals the evolved dark plum/garnet color of Le Pin, as well as an exotic, kinky, oaky, herb, coffee, jammy, black-cherry-scented nose. The exaggerated aromatics are followed by a not-surprisingly decadent, delicious, low acid, medium-bodied wine crammed with fruit. Those of us who can remember as children gorging ourselves on lavishly rich banana splits, hot fudge sundaes, etc., will no doubt appreciate that in wine terms, this is what Le Pin offers.

The Estate

Château Le Pin is a tiny but legendary wine estate located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. Established in 1979 by the Thienpont family, it quickly rose to prominence as one of the world's most exclusive and expensive wines. The vineyard covers a mere 2.7 hectares, making it one of the smallest fine wine producers in Bordeaux. Le Pin is known for producing a single wine, typically composed of 100% Merlot, that is celebrated for its opulence, concentration, and remarkable aging potential.

Cool Vintage, Terroir Softness

A cool, rainy vintage in Pomerol with limited concentration, but Le Pin’s exceptional terroir provided roundness and aromatic finesse. A light, early-drinking style.
