Dark earth and smoked cherrywood wafted from the glass with notes of mushrooms and old cigar. Lifted layers of black fruit, woodsy old vanilla and light strawberry. Beautiful, lithe and long. So feminine. In a perfect place.

Ethereal, silky and marvelously poised, the 2011 Le Pin (WWB, 97) is sourced from an extremely small estate is located in the commune of Pomerol. It is amongst the world's most expensive red wines, as this was very graciously shared by my colleague Dr. Hong. I was most impressed by the opulent, pillowy texture of the wine, which is still quite primary now at the eight year mark. Elegant tannins line the massive core of dark fruits, all leading the breathtaking, near minute-long finish. This true heavyhitter really needs another ten years of bottle age to hit its stride and will provide drinking enjoyment past my lifetime. Drink 2025-2055- 97

Le Pin Pomerol is a unique wine, that has lingered in my memory since it's consumption. It was a brought as a gift & it was something I hadn't had before. It's something I'd love to have again, despite this vintages limited availability and steep price.

Beautifully aged right bank, I really love this vintage, underrated in comparison to some of the other 80's, but that's what makes it so special.
