L`If [or Yew tree] is a relatively new wine made by maverick Pomerol producer and owner of Le Pin, Jacques Thienpont. The 2018 vintage is considered the best L’If since their first vintage from 2011. This is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, picked from 1st to 8th of October. A rich, full-bodied wine, filled with plenty of red and black fruits, supported by very gentle tannins.
92 Vinous
The 2018 L’If, which sees 50% new oak and 50% one-year-old wood, has a disarmingly lovely bouquet that veers more toward red fruit than black, offering raspberry and wild strawberry, hoisin and light marmalade aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and quite saline on the entry, with good tension from beginning to end. Harmonious and almost understated toward the finish, it leaves light white pepper and sage notes on the aftertaste. This is an excellent L’If that should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.
