Finest and Rarest Selections from a Magnificent Private Collection
LE PIN
Le Pin recreated itself as the most hedonistic Pomerol and a competitor to Pétrus when it was acquired by the Thienpont family, long time owners of Vieux-Chateau-Certan. They completed refashioned the nearly defunct property, greatly reducing yields and speeding up and controlling the fermentations as well as macerations. Le Pin sits ideally in the highest aspect of Pomerol with iron rich gravel soils. The expressive and exotic character of Le Pin is heightened in the winery through the unusual practice (for Bordeaux) of using new oak casks for the malolactic fermentation of the wine. This is extremely labor intensive and can be only done on small estates such as Le Pin where the production is scant 600 cases. The results are a massive oaky wine of incredible richness yet creamy butter smoothness.
Le Pin--Vintage 1989
Pomerol
"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" Last tasted 10/95." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition #B1 (Jan 1998)
