Le Pin--Vintage 1985
Pomerol
Levels: bottom neck; glue stained labels
This wine went through an unusual stage where it seemed disjointed, too oaky, and light, but that has all changed over the last 1-2 years. The wine is now a deep plum color with some lightening at the edge. The nose soars from the glass offering up an enticing fragrance of smoked herbs, sweet, jammy, curranty fruit, and toasty oak. In the mouth, caramel, toffee, and mocha blend with jammy cherry fruit to offer an unctuously-textured, thick, satiny smooth wine that is impossible to resist. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. Last tasted 12/96. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
