Tasting Notes

Aromas of blackberries, dried mushrooms and iodine. Sweet tobacco and cloves to boot. Full body and a creamy texture that the limestone imparts. Very persistent. Impressive drive and precision. Try in 2022.

Tasted blind. Intense and spicy and zesty with real energy and not too much exaggeration. My fellow tasters criticised it for being too stalky and high-acid and not tasting of Le Pin! 14.5%
Drink 2025-2038

This is very intense and mineral on the palate with so much salt and white pepper character. Full and powerful. A great and structured L’If.
