Le Pin 1988
Pomerol
In original wooden case. In original tissues. Good appearance. Levels: top-shoulder
Tasting note: This wine has developed nicely in the bottle. The colour is a deep ruby with purple nuances. The aggressive oakiness has melted away to reveal plenty of pain grille and sweet, rich black cherries, black currants, and a touch of prunes. Chocolatey and rich, this medium to full-bodied, super-concentrated Le Pin possesses more structure and tannin than is noticeable in many vintages. It is still a beautifully plump, hedonistic wine. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2010. Last tasted 11/97. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
