Tasted April 2022. The deep gravels at Le Pin paid dividends in 2021, allowing for a long ripening season which has resulted in incredible complexity and finesse. Cascading, velvety fruits on the nose and palate, with a combination of ripe but incredibly fresh blackberries, red and black plums, damsons and mulberries. The palate is tightly coiled intitially, but grows with rich flavours, mouth-coating tannins and a smooth, long finish.

I tasted the 2021 Le Pin several times this spring, and on every occasion the wine showed brilliantly. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, exotic spices, vine smoke and carnal nuances, it's medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, with a velvety attack, supple tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Seamless and impressively concentrated, it demonstrates how precocious, well-drained sites such as Le Pin came into their own in the 2021 growing season. As usual, it's 100% Merlot, and this year it checks in at 13.4% alcohol.
