Robert Parker (90)

One of the more structured examples of Le Pin, and still surprisingly youthful for a wine that critics say needs to be drunk in its first 5-10 years, this dark garnet-colored wine has notes of licorice, loamy soil scents, sweet black cherries and currants along with some truffle and vanilla. The wine is medium-bodied with a certain firmness and delineation, and less of the charm, glycerin, and opulence that the ripe, more generous vintages provide. The finish is long and almost Medoc-like.

This has always been a classic-quality Le Pin, and it's holding wonderfully. Majestic. Very fresh, with dried cherry and mineral aromas. Full and silky, with a long, long finish. Loads of freshness and structure, yet refined.
