2004 Le Pin, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

"One of the top Pomerols of the vintage, the impressive 2004 Le Pin boasts a classic, exotic perfume of caramelized black fruits, spicy new oak, espresso roast, and chocolate. It is well-delineated, opulent, and medium to full-bodied with refreshing acidity as well as a vigorous, long finish. It will probably close down over the next several years, re-emerge in 5-7 years, and drink well for the following 15+." 92-94/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Jun-2006)

Critics reviews

Robert Parker 95/100
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?
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (Jun 2007)

About this wine

Le Pin

Le Pin is the most expensive wine in the world. Jacques Thienpont purchased the meagre 1.6 hectares of land for one million francs in 1979. The Thienpoints named their wine Le Pin after a solitary pine tree that shaded the property. By acquiring tiny adjoining plots of land, Jacques has doubled the size of Le Pin to five acres. The south-facing vineyard on a well-drained slope of gravel and sand is planted with Merlot (about 92%), and a small amount of Cabernet Franc.

Pomerol

Pomerol

With 150 or so producers and roughly 740 hectares of vineyards, the smallest of Bordeaux's major appellations is home to myriad bijou domaines – many making little more than 1,000 cases per annum. If the topography and architecture of Pomerol are typical, the style of its wines is anything but. The best vineyards are planted on a seam of rich clay extending across the raised plateau of Pomerol from the boundary of St Emilion.
