Red Wine: 1985 | Le Pin | Pomerol

Fully mature, the wine is packed with truffles, dark chocolate, red plums, cherries, earth and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied, with a crisp edge to the tannins that I wish was just a bit more fleshy and silky.

Producer Information

Le Pin is a tiny 2.7-hectare (6-acre) property in the Pomerol district of Bordeaux. It was created in 1979 by the Thienpont family (owners of nearby Vieux Chteau Certan), and quickly rose to prominence to vie for the title of most expensive wine in the world.The 100 percent Merlot wine is extremely concentrated and lush; it can often be drunk young but is best with a decade of aging.The Le Pin vineyard is south-facing and sits on well-drained gravel and sand soils which give extremely low yields. There is also a small amount of Cabernet Franc planted. However, this not used in the Le Pin wine, and is gradually being replaced by Merlot.
