Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Neal Martin - 25 Mar 25
The 1997 Le Pin has a pleasurable, well-defined raspberry-, wild strawberry- and cranberry-scented nose. It is conservative and straight-laced. The palate is quite chewy on the entry though there is good acidity. Relatively simple compared to other vintages, there are notes of black cherries, redcurrants, tobacco and dried herbs, but it lacks tension and poise. This is a monochromatic Le Pin that engenders feelings of indifference. It is a Pomerol with just a single emotion; this does not and has no desire to take you, the taster, anywhere of interest. There were 567 cases produced. Tasted at Bipin Desai’s Le Pin vertical in Los Angeles in November 2008. Tasting note taken from the Pomerol book by Neal Martin.

Pomerol Fine Wine

Pomerol

Pomerol, a prestigious Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is famous for luxurious, velvety red wines primarily based on Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. These wines are rich and opulent, with soft tannins and flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and earthy undertones, featuring a silky texture and lingering finish. Top producers include Château Pétrus, known for its depth and ageing potential; Château Le Pin, celebrated for purity and finesse; and Château La Conseillante and Château Trotanoy, known for elegance and power.
