1988 Le Pin Pomerol

This wine has developed nicely in the bottle. The colour is a deep ruby with purple nuances. The aggressive oakiness has melted away to reveal plenty of toast and sweet, rich, black cherries, black currants, and a touch of prunes. Chocolatey and rich, this medium-to full bodied, super concentrated Le Pin possesses more structure and tannin than is noticeable in many vintages. It is still a beautifully plump, hedonistic wine. Anticipated maturity now-2015.
