Le Pin 1990

Wine Advocate:

For my taste one of the two finest Le Pins made to date, the 1990 is just starting to hit its adolescent stage and develop secondary nuances. Still a very deep ruby/purple with just a bit of pink at the rim, its explosive aromatics consist of Asian spice, kirsch, fig, blackberry, cherry and smokey, toasty oak. In the mouth there are layers of concentration, glorious ripeness, copious glycerin, and a seamlessness that has to be tasted to be believed. This voluptuously textured, full-bodied, remarkable wine that should still have a tremendous upside to it.
