2007 Le Pin, Pomerol

Bid on this bottle of 2007 Le Pin, Pomerol (89RP, 88VN), from the Thienpont family’s legendary tiny estate, one of the three great names of Pomerol alongside Pétrus and Lafleur and the original cult “garage” wine of Bordeaux, produced in minuscule quantities and among the most sought-after bottles in the world. Made from 100% Merlot, the 2007 shows Le Pin’s signature seductive, almost Burgundian charm, with a pure bouquet of bilberry, blueberry and crushed stone alongside neatly integrated new oak. The fine-boned palate has a supple, caressing texture, with black cherry and cassis fanning out toward the finish. Neal Martin judges it ready to drink now and good for another decade. A rare opportunity to own one of Bordeaux’s most iconic and collectible wines.
