Le Pin, Pomerol, France 2004 Cakes and Cream under rainy conditions after aThere are 580 cases of the exotic, flamboyant 2004 Le Pin. Its dense plum ruby color is accompanied by sweet aromas of kirsch, cassis, smoke, earth, and roasted herbs. Super opulent for the vintage, it possesses wonderful fruit and glycerin, medium to full body, and a fleshy personality. It should drink well young, yet age nicely for two decades or more. 95 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
