fresh and even cool yet ripe liqueur-like red and black currant aromas that are liberally sprinkled with sauvage

The wine is aged in very mild oak in order to maintain the purity of the fruit and the robust tannins that come naturally to it

a perfect line of acidity

Pin Vintage:2006 later than in other vintagesThe 2010 Le Pin is blessed with a supremely well defined and focused bouquet, red berry fruit, hints of star anis, black truffle and smoke that soar from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine grain tannins, a perfect line of acidity, very elegant in style with a precise, almost understated finish in context of the growing season. Outstanding.
