Glorious aromas of violets, black olives, bark, graphite, orange peel and menthol. Medium-bodied with incredible complexity and intensity. Flavors of dark berries and dried herbs such as thyme, oregano, rosemary and some spearmint, with touches of oak, chocolate, foie gras and slightly exotic fruit at the end. A contemporary masterpiece that transcends it origins. Pure merlot. Drink or hold.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

97-100 2023 Le Pin has a perfumed, crunchy nose of sweet berries, dark cherries and fine, elegant scents. The taste is concentrated, deep, intense, peppery and spicy ending in a fireworks display of ripe fruit, cherries and voluptuous fruity notes. There is so much energy in the vibrant tannins and the aftertaste just goes on and on. It is a highly impressive Le Pin that should age well and one of the most impressive 2023 I have tasted.

The 2023 Le Pin is one of the wines of the vintage. It starts and ends there. Seamless, silky and remarkably pure, the 2023 is off-the-charts gorgeous. Everything is in perfect balance. The 2023 is not an especially opulent or dense Le Pin, rather it is a wine of remarkable completeness. Floral overtones, bright fruit and mid-weight structure are the signatures, and yet the 2023 has gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and the most cashmere-like tannins imaginable. Yields came in at a generous 39 hectoliters per hectare. New oak was 67%, a reduction from the 100% that was the norm a few years ago.

That classic Le Pin sexiness emerges from the 2023 Château Le Pin in its spiced red fruits, dried flowers, camphor, and liquid violets. Based on 100% Merlot and brought up in 66% new French oak from Seguin Moreau and Taransaud, it's medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, beautifully integrated oak, and a gorgeous finish. It makes the most of this classic, ripe, balanced vintage. Give it just 4-5 years and drink over the following three decades. Drink 2029-2059.

94-96 The 2023 Le Pin is another strong effort for this small Pomerol winery, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, violets, exotic spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, polished and suave, it's velvety and refined, with attractive purity of fruit, lively acids and a long, gently vanillin-inflected finish. It's the result of multiple harvests, starting with young vines, between September 11 and 23.
