GREAT WINES FROM A PRIVATE SWISS COLLECTOR
Le Pin--Vintage 1982
Pomerol
Bin-soiled label. Cut capsule. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: Probably not a perfect wine for the classicist, this flamboyant, exotic, lavishly rich, concentrated, low acid fruit bomb exhibits remarkable aromatic complexity (espresso roast, roasted herbs, caramel, chocolate, and oodles of sweet plum, fig, and berry fruit). It is very jammy and incredibly low in acidity, but it is still intact, and the dense plum/garnet color is just beginning to show some lightening at the edge. This is another 1982 that I thought would have one, possibly two feet in the grave at age 27, but lo and behold, it is still going strong. 100 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 183 (Jun 2009)
