Chateau Le Pin 1987

An iconic Pomerol displaying aromas of black cherry, plum, truffle, violet, cedar, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Silky and beautifully evolved, it offers extraordinary depth, seamless texture, refined elegance, and a remarkably persistent finish that defines one of Bordeaux's greatest wines.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, duck breast, truffle risotto, venison, aged Gruyère, wild mushrooms, or filet mignon.

I thought that this would be long gone, considering the weakness of the vintage. But it's delicious, with tobacco, dried herbs, cigar tobacco and fruit on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, long finish.--Le Pin non-blind vertical. Drink now.
