Tasting Notes
Robert Parker – 88
Tasted at Bipin Desai’s Le Pin vertical in Los Angeles. The ’97 Le Pin has a pleasurable, well-defined nose with raspberry, wild strawberry and cranberry-scented nose " conservative and straight-laced. The palate has quite chewy entry with good acidity, relatively simple compared to other vintages and lacking some tension and poise. Notes of black cherries, redcurrants and hints of tobacco and dried herbs, but it is a Pomerol with just a single emotion, it does not and has no desire to take you, the taster, anywhere of interest. There were 567 cases produced. Drink now-2014. Tasted November 2008.
Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014
