Château Le Pin, Pomerol, 2018

Rich purple garnet with purple rim. What a heady perfume, this typically demanding, stimulating spice with rosewood, dried coriander and rose hips. In the second attack wild cherry, graphite traces and black olives. On the palate with silky texture, powerful and demanding tannins coupled with brilliantly supportive breed and dark minerality. The catapult-like finish is a fireworks display of dried raspberries, perfumed pipe tobacco and damassine. This is very big Le Pin cinema, very close to perfection and on the direct way to the dream note.
