Le Pin

Case Format: 12x37.5cl

Max score: 95.0

Le Pin, named after the solitary pine tree in this tiny 5 hectare plot, is an exceptionally low yielding piece of land in the heart of Pomerol, owned by the Thienponts since the late ’70s. The tiny production lends to the cult status it has achieved.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.

There are 580 cases of the exotic, flamboyant 2004 Le Pin. Its dense plum/ruby color is accompanied by sweet aromas of kirsch, cassis, smoke, earth, and roasted herbs. Super-opulent for the vintage, it possesses wonderful fruit and glycerin, medium to full body, and a fleshy personality. It should drink well young, yet age nicely for two decades or more. The Pomerol of the vintage?

Jancis Robinson

[There are all of 500 cases of this to go round and the Pin cellar is looking unusually full after last year’s zero production.] Extremely deep purple with a crimson rim. Explosively sumptuous nose with lots of freshness and floral scents. Rich and round with the merest suggestion of a corset of very fine tannins. Not nearly as opulent on the palate – big, round and meaty with a very dry, quite sudden finish.
