This is the essence of Le Pin with incredible silk texture and beautiful fruit. A berry, sweet-tobacco, chocolate and dusty undertone... What a wine... Cystal clear. It’s like the 2001 that was always better than 2000.
Intense raspberry confiture notes drive along with ample dark spice, anise & singed wood accents. Shows lots of flesh... A light twinge of savory at the very end gives this nice lift... one of the stars of this Right Bank...
A compelling, totally arresting wine... superb texture, unctuousness and pure voluptuous beauty... effortless in the way it opens up in the glass, with generous sweet red cherry, plum, iron, smoke and licorice... racy & quite expressive...
...opaque purple color, moderately high tannin, deep mocha and jammy berry characteristics, unexpected headiness, an alcoholic blast and lots of glycerin and fruit. This beauty should come into its own in 4-5 years...
Lots on the finish. It certainly builds on the finish.
