Merchant's description
Le Pin is one of the newer names of Bordeaux having only made its debut in 1979. Owned and operated by the Thienpont family (of Vieux Château Certan), production is truly miniscule by Bordeaux standards and it is one of the most highly sought-after wines in the world. The 2006 is a 500-600 case release of 100% Merlot from a vastly underrated vintage. Now at fourteen years of age, this is perfect for drinking.
