Château Le Pin 2015
Description
Los halagos de Robert Parker a su añada 1982 lanzaron al estrellato a Château Le Pin, pasando a formar parte desde entonces del selecto grupo de vinos más caros de Burdeos y del mundo. La conocida familia Thienpont (Vieux Chateau Certan) es la propietaria de la bodega y de su pequeño viñedo en Pomerol, un terruño de arcilla, grava y arena que alumbra la excepcional Merlot que domina este tinto del que el crítico James Suckling asegura no tener palabras suficientes para describir: "es como entrar en la mejor floristería de París".

L'avis des experts
I am lost for words to describe this young wine, but it’s like walking into the best flower shop in Paris. Flowers galore with dark fruits as well. Full-bodied, very tannic and exotic. Amazing muscle and finesse at the same time. Phenomenal wine. This is half a normal harvest. Greatest ever, clearly. Wait until 2026.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Le Pin hits the dance floor with a completely gregarious nose of plum preserves, blackberry tart and wild blueberries, boldly accented by suggestions of Chinese five spice, cigar boxes, menthol and violets plus an earthy waft of underbrush. Full-bodied, concentrated, muscular and earthy with a firm backbone of exquisitely ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, it has an incredibly long finish featuring exotic spice and mineral layers. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
I always find Le Pin to be wonderfully atypical and it often requires a whole new vocabulary of adjectives to those classically associated with red Bordeaux. Soy, lemongrass and chilli. Grassy and herbal. Rich, concentrated and almost tropical. So fresh, but with an edge of bitterness. Exceptional. (Gareth Birchley)
