Yves Beck 99 points www.yvesbeck.wine (Dégusté le 21 décembre 2020) Merlot Le 2018 se révèle avec beaucoup de finesse, de subtilité et de complexité. Invitantes notes fruitées et minérales avec une précision saisissante. Nuances de framboises et de cerises. L’attaque est ample, intense, racée et compacte. Au vu de cette entrée en matière plutôt démonstrative, Le Pin parvient à révéler de la finesse et à créer une symbiose entre richesse et délicatesse. Cependant, j’ai rarement goûté un Le Pin aussi puissant, voire corsé. Alors qu’il a généralement d’un style plus « bourguignon », il est ici très bordelais, avec une concentration et une densité exceptionnelle. Les tanins parviennent également à faire ressortir leur côté subtil aux grains fins, tandis que la finale est marquée par une rafraîchissante intensité fruitée, au travers de saveurs de baies rouges. La finale est juteuse, intense et persistante. Un Le Pin quelque peu solaire, racé et… fin ! 2026-2050
Lisa Perrotti-Brown 97-99 points www.robertparker.com The 2018 Le Pin is made of 100% Merlot, picked the last week of September with yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare. The wine has a pH of 3.7, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 70 and 14.5% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, it is a little reserved to begin, offering glimpses of tar, fertile loam and truffles with slowly emerging notes of baked black cherries, stewed plums, mulberries and underbrush plus hints of black pepper, hoisin and chargrill with a waft of garrigue. Full-bodied, the palate is loaded with taut, muscular fruit and heaps of earthy accents, with a firm frame of ripe, rounded tannins and just enough seamless freshness, finishing very long and wonderfully savory.
Jeb Dunnuck 97-99 points www.jebdunnuck.com About as sexy as wine gets, the 2018 Le Pin comes from a tiny vineyard located just across from Vieux Château Certan and is always 100% Merlot brought up in new barrels. It reveals a deep purple color as well as a heavenly bouquet of crème de cassis, roasted coffee, vanilla, and toasted spice. Deep, full-bodied, seamless, and incredibly layered on the palate, with ultra-fine tannins, it’s already approachable, with the flamboyant style of the vintage, yet should evolve for decades. It’s a brilliant Pomerol in the making.
Jane Anson 98 points www.decanter.com (at Bordeaux, 10 Nov 2020) This is extremely good, expansive and luxurious with a stunning texture – vibrant and powerful, and a floral side that becomes clear as it opens in the glass, lifting the whole thing not through acidity but through aromatics. The real difference with Le Pin and other 100% Merlot wines is the sumptuousness through the mid palate, it’s so wide and rich, you can’t just walk over it but lie down on it, feather pillow style. They had a yield of 30hl/ha, mainly due to thicker than usual skins with some concentration at the finish, and added a selected rather than indigenous yeast to deal with the alcohol levels. 3.7Ph. 70IPT. 2019, by the way, is the 40th anniversary vintage here for the Thienponts.

Neal Martin 97 points www.vinous.com Tasting the 2018 Le Pin from barrel, I was intrigued by its Left Bank–like personality on the nose. Now in bottle, though it is not as obvious as before, it still flirts with Médocian traits thanks to its very attractive, very subtle graphite and marine scents. It has wonderful delineation, pixelated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates a touch more tannic spine. Wonderfully focused and detailed, maybe a touch spicier than recent vintages, with disarming harmony and effortlessness. It is self-aware that it is a great Le Pin.
Antonio Galloni 98+ points www.vinous.com A heady, exotic wine, the 2018 Le Pin is rapturous right out of the gate. Waves of intense dark fruit cascade over the senses. The 2018 is a majestic, hypnotically beautiful Pomerol that really dazzles. Inky dark fruit, cherry, menthol, spice and chocolate are all fused together. The 100% new oak, a bit intrusive en primeur, has assimilated nicely. Time in the glass brings out exotic floral and spice notes. Le Pin is beyond my means, and probably beyond most readers’ means, but it is undeniably great. And I mean great.
Jean-Marc Quarin 96 www.quarin.com Couleur sombre, intense. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, mûr et truffé. Moelleux à l’attaque, de suite fondant au développement, aérien et raffiné au toucher, le vin glisse en bouche offrant son plus grand coup de génie : la part belle faite à l’aromatique. Grande finale sèveuse et délicate. C’est très bon, avec un brin de discrétion.
