Though the Le Pin 1990 is deeper in colour than the 1989, you can immediately observe that the aromas feel slightly more advanced with scents of fig, brown sugar and mushroom embro idered into the black fruit. The palate has a touch more viscosity than the 1989, although it does not possess quite the same laser-like focus or the complexity. Still, if you prefer a more opulent, buxom Pomerol that personifies the word "sexy", then the Le Pin 1990 delivers...and then some. Indeed, the sweetness on the finish is almost redolent of the New World, Sonoma rather than Napa! Superb. Tasted December 2013. By Neal Martin May 2014 Show more
