This is a slight downgrade for this wine, but I suspect it will bounce back, as it clearly needs more time. It was more reserved than I thought it would be, as Le Pin tends to be one of the more extravagantly rich, flamboyant wines of Pomerol. The one time I tasted the 2000, it had a dense ruby/purple color, aggressive new oak, loads of coconut, vanilla, and spice box, enormous concentration and thickness, but this is an estate where I thought their subsequent year, 2001, was an even better wine. This wine displays some firm tannins in the finish and should be forgotten for another 5-6 years. So much for Le Pin not aging well. This one has at least 25 years left in it.

An outstanding wine, but I am a little disappointed. It should have more concentration. Soft and plummy, with chocolate, berry and mineral. Full--bodied, with velvety tannins and a round finish. Starting to open. Very drinkable and soft. Distinguished. This is so Richebourg DRC.
