Chateau Le Pin 2017

Le Pin presents a rich and concentrated profile with ripe dark fruit, velvety texture, and refined structure. Layers of plum, blackberry, and subtle spice are supported by smooth tannins and balanced acidity, delivering depth and elegance with a long, polished finish suited for luxurious dining occasions.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with beef tenderloin, lamb, duck, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.

97 Points - James Suckling

This Le Pin is extremely linear and compact with tight, polished tannins that flow down the center of the palate. Full-to medium-bodied, succulent and tangy with orange-peel and hazelnut undertones. Dusty and polished at the same time. Superb length. Drink after 2022.

98 Points - Wine Spectator

A river of ganache-coated raspberry pâte de fruit flavors courses through this version, flecked liberally with anise notes and underscored by warm earth accents. Shows terrific concentration for the vintage, brimming with energy as the fruit cascades through a sweet, tobacco-accented finish that is ridiculously long. This transcends the general vintage profile, delivering extra depth and drive to the fruit. A tannic spine matches the fresh acidity. Best from 2022 through 2040.
