CH LE PIN

The color is a dense ruby/garnet with some amber at the edge. The soaring aromatics consist of melted caramel, espresso, Asian spice, and sweet, almost overripe prune, black currant, and fig. In the mouth it is layered, lavishly concentrated, and very full-bodied and sweet (from ripe fruit, not sugar.)

The wine seems very low in acidity, but the tannins remain, although they are very ripe and integrated. This is a decadent, extravagantly rich style of wine that is nearly over the top.
