1989 Chateau Le Pin Pomerol from this lot has the following scores - The Wine Advocate 98 points, Vinous 96 points, Jeannie Cho Lee (formerly Asian Palate) 96 points. This is the tasting note for 1989 Chateau Le Pin Pomerol from Robert Parker - A slightly firmer, more structured wine than the 1990, with similarly low acid but more noticeable tannin, the color remains a very healthy saturated ruby/purple. The nose needs more coaxing and offers up noted of coconut, roasted herbs, jus du viande, along with plenty of black currant and sweet cherry fruit with nicely integrated toasty oak. The wine has similarly high levels of glycerin to the 1990, but less accessibility, and more structure and possibly power. This is a remarkable wine, and certainly one of the great vintages for Le Pin. .
