Notas de "The Wine Advocate" sobre la añada 2018

The 2018 Le Pin is made of 100% Merlot, picked the last week of September with yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has a ph of 3,7 and                                  IPT (total polyphenol index) of 70 and 14,5% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it is a little reserved to begin, offering glimpses of tar, fertile loam                                      and truffles with slowly emerging notes of baked black cherries, stewed plums, mulberries and underbrusch plus hints of black pepper,                                                hoisin and chargrill with a waft of garrigue. Full-bodied, the palate is loaded with taut, muscular fruit and heaps of earthy accents, with a firm frame of ripe,                        rounded tannins and just enough seamless freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully savory.

Notas de James Suckling

Glorious aromas of violets, black olives, bark, graphite, orange peel and menthol. Medium-bodied with incredible complexity and intensity. Flavors of dark berries and dried herbs such as thyme, oregano, rosemary and some spearmint, with touches of oak, chocolate, foie gras and slightly exotic fruit at the end. A contemporary masterpiece that transcends it origins. Pure merlot. Drink or hold.

Notas de Vinous

The 2023 Le Pin was bottled in early June after aging in two-thirds new oak with racking every four months, with no collage. “Nature gave us the balance,” remarked Guillaume Thienpont. It has a very well-defined and very pure bouquet that blossoms in the glass, black fruit, hints of dark chocolate manifesting with aeration. This is beautifully balanced, with a sensually creamy texture that just glides across the mouth. Very well-defined, lovely poise with impressive depth toward the finish, this a gorgeous Le Pin. Very persistent in the mouth, superb. [Interestingly, a decanted bottle demonstrated a tad more precision and race on the finish
