Chateau Le Pin 1995
Pomerol
12lbsl, 3nc
Bottle (12)
The Kings County Cellar, A Monumental Bordeaux Collection from a Brooklyn Original: All wines have been stored in a temperature-controlled cellar on the collector’s estate, offering pristine provenance and breathtaking formats.
“Some of the hard tannins this wine possessed early in life have sloughed off to reveal a wine that has a stunning nose of roasted herbs, caramel, smoke, barbecue notes along with fruitcake, blackberry, and black cherry jam, and a bit of white chocolate also entering the smorgasbord of scents. Full-bodied, with low acidity but still moderately high tannin, still a tightly knit, very concentrated wine that is surprisingly structured and backward for Le Pin. It is also a bit more massive than most vintages.” (94 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2002)
“Tasted at the Pomerol Comparative Exploration tasting in London, the 1995 Le Pin is a vintage that has never proven its pedigree. Now with two decades under its belt, the aromatics are strangely not that far from those of the 1995 Lafleur despite the absence of any Cabernet Franc. There is a pleasant mineralité here and impressive purity. The palate is fresh and vibrant, a mixture of red and black fruit with a subtle marine influence. Classy and sophisticated, this is unquestionably the finest bottle that I have encountered. Perhaps it was just a ‘late bloomer’? Anyway, I am happy to upgrade my score from previous encounters.” (93 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Sept. 2016)
