Le Pin--Vintage 2004
Pomerol
Tasting note: Medium-deep; fragrant; lovely flavour, crisp, delicious, good length. From the cask, April 2006 (****) 2010-2015 M.B.
...It was more reserved than I thought it would be, as Le Pin tends to be one of the more extravagantly rich, flamboyant wines of Pomerol. The one time I tasted the 2000, it had a dense ruby/purple colour, aggressive new oak, loads of coconut, vanilla, and spice box, enormous concentration and thickness, but this is an estate where I thought their subsequent year, 2001, was an even better wine. This wine displays some firm tannins in the finish and should be forgotten for another 5-6 years. So much for Le Pin not aging well. This one has at least 25 years left in it.
