Sampled at Le Pin. Whisper it…but Jacques Thienpont has crafted a better Le Pin in 2006 than in 2005. The nose starts quietly but builds into a crescendo on minerals, Morello, blackberry leaf and a touch of orange peel. The palate has a tension that is missing in the 2005, brilliant definition and focus with real minerality at its heart. Very well structured, ethereal focus and precision with a touch of peppermint on the finish. So good, it hurts. It has the precision of a fine Leroy. (4/2007)

This micro-cuvee of 500-600 cases of 100% Merlot offers exotic pain grille notes interwoven with lavish quantities of black, blue, and red fruits, an unctuous texture, and beautiful purity as well as length. Full-bodied with velvety tannins as well as extravagant fruit, it should drink well for 20-25 years. Sadly, most consumers can neither afford nor find this stunning Pomerol. (4/2007)
