Le Pin Pomerol 1997

Le Pin Pomerol 1997 is a distinguished Right Bank Bordeaux offering ripe plum, black cherry, cassis, truffle, cedar, and subtle spice. Its velvety texture and polished tannins frame concentrated fruit, while mature earthy complexity and balanced freshness lead into a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef tenderloin, roast lamb, duck, braised short ribs, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses for a luxurious Bordeaux pairing.

Better than I remember. Shows a slightly pruny character, but has some good plummy fruit. Full and round, soft and velvety. Long. A bit one-dimensional. Ready.--Le Pin non-blind vertical. Drink now.
