The 1990 Le Pin has more in common with the 1982 than most wines of this

vintage. This wine exhibits concentrated fig, blackberry, creme de cassis, kirsch,

roasted coffee, herb, and spice box characteristics, and incredible amounts of

glycerin as well as velvety tannins. Still tasting like an adolescent, it rocks and

rolls across the palate in a glorious manner. Anticipated maturity: now - 2025. /
