Le Pin--Vintage 1989
Pomerol
Levels: into neck; wineauthentication.com stickers across capsules, one capsule removed to reveal château and vintage branded cork then replaced, one very slightly protruding cork, lightly bin soiled label
The 1989's dark ruby/purple color may have slightly more saturation than the 1990. The wine reveals a sweet, roasted herb, coconut, and jammy black currant-scented nose with plenty of smoky new oak. Full-bodied, with massive concentration, huge layers of glycerin, and more noticeable tannin than is found in the 1990, this is a fabulous and fascinating wine, as well as one of extraordinary singularity. It is unquestionably a compelling wine. But is it worth the $4000-$6000 a bottle that top vintages of Le Pin were fetching at auctions in late 1997? Anticipated maturity: 1999-2012." Last tasted 12/96, Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
