Château Le Pin - Pomerol 1990 (750ml) HéraultCritical Acclaim 99 points Wine Spectator This offers a perfect marriage of lightly mulled raspberry and boysenberry fruit, with delightful allspice, juniper and alder notes that are so fine grained they have a cashmere feel. Hints of rooibos, bergamot and black tea weave in on the finish, where a light sanguine echo hangs like the tightly pitched buzz of a tuning fork. A pretty incredible display of length, too. Sublime.
