Tasted at the Pomerol Comparative Exploration tasting in London, the 1982 Le Pin is a wine that I have tasted only twice before, once in Los Angeles and the other in Hong Kong. Now here in London, compared to the 1982 Petrus and Lafleur, it is astonishing how different it comes across. It boasts an astonishing rich and exotic bouquet, which is akin to checking into a five-star hotel. You find your penthouse suite a little ostentatious but to hell with it...the luxury! You are almost overwhelmed by the sensual aromas of kirsch, blueberry, crème de cassis and camphor all beautifully defined. The palate is the richest of the three big Pomerol by some stretch, laden with glycerine, velvety in texture with rounded blueberry and blackberry intermingling with ferrous notes on the long finish. Is it a typical Pomerol? Not at all. However, it is a stunning wine after 34-years and you have to admire the audacity of Jacques Thienpont's creation, a wine that did so much to put not just Le Pin, but Pomerol on the map.

A Mould-Breaking Pomerol

Le Pin is one of the newer names of Bordeaux having only made its debut in 1979. The estate takes its name from the pine trees that first stood outside the winery. Situated on Bordeaux's Right Bank, in the prestigious appellation of Pomerol. Production is truly miniscule by Bordeaux standards and Le Pin is thus one of the most highly sought-after wines in the world.

The estate unveiled a state-of-the-art new winery in 2012 and produces superb red wines from 100% Merlot vines that are an average of 40 years old. Beautifully opulent wines, with a seductive, velvety texture and floral complexity. Organic practices are adopted in the vineyard and wines can be aged for up to 22 months in new oak.
