Decanter, April 2024

Juicy and lively, couldn't be more different from Petrus, this is alive and fresh, lifted and really quite aerial and delicate in style. Lifted, aromatically lovely, fragranced raspberries and strawberries, gorgeous...

A ravishing red that pours out aromas of crushed raspberries, blueberries and dried flowers. Black truffle skins and undertones of violets. Full-bodied yet so tight and refined with incredible finesse and polish. The...

Crushed red rose petals open up the complex aromatics on the nose, this is hugely distinctive, with sugar dusted almonds, sweet raspberry puree alongside more savoury lavender, tobacco, cured leather, redcurrant and...

The Wine Independent, March 2024

The 2014 Le Pin is deep garnet-brick in color. Notes of cedar chest and dried roses slowly emerge from the glass, leading to a core of dried raspberries, kirsch, and fruitcake plus a waft of truffle. The medium-bodied...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2017

The 2014 Le Pin has a really quite lovely bouquet. Tasted alongside its "cousin" Vieux-Château-Certan, it is more exotic and outgoing, yet it maintains fine delineation and complexity with upfront blueberry and black...

Vinous, March 2024

The 2014 Le Pin has held on to its outgoing and potent bouquet with red plummy fruit, shavings of black truffle and sous-bois. Curiously, it has an almost Burgundian-like allure. Wonderful definition, however. The palate...

The 2014 Chateau Le Pin from Pomerol, Bordeaux, is a distinguished Bordeaux blend that has captured the attention of wine critics with its complex and elegant profile. This red wine, produced by Chateau Le Pin, has been highly praised for its aromatic and flavor characteristics.

James Suckling awarded it an impressive 98 points, describing it as "a ravishing red that pours out aromas of crushed raspberries, blueberries and dried flowers," highlighting its "incredible finesse and polish." He emphasizes its "endless and breathtakingly harmonious" nature, suggesting it will be at its best starting in 2022.

Jane Anson, also scoring it 98 points, calls it "totally gorgeous, a knockout wine," and praises its distinctive aromatics, including "crushed red rose petals" and "sugar dusted almonds." She notes the wine's complex layering of flavors, from "sweet raspberry puree" to "cured leather," underpinned by a silky tannin structure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Vinous both gave it 93 points. Neal Martin from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate describes it as having an "exotic and outgoing" bouquet with "blueberry and black cherry fruit." While he regards it as a "classic" Le Pin, he suggests it may be overshadowed by the 2015 vintage. In his review for Vinous, Martin notes the wine's "Burgundian-like allure" with a "mouth-filling" quality, though he feels it lacks the complexity of other vintages.

The Wine Independent awarded it 96 points, commending its "deep garnet-brick" color and "elegance" on the palate, with "silky tannins and beautifully knit freshness."

Overall, the 2014 Chateau Le Pin is celebrated for its aromatic bouquet, refined tannins, and nuanced flavors, making it a noteworthy choice for those seeking a sophisticated Bordeaux experience.
