James Suckling: 100 Points
Dreamlike deep nose with blackberries, graphite and some smoky notes. Opens with licorice, vanilla and red fruit. Full and intensely fruity on the palate with lots of dark berries. Complex, dense and deeply structured with polished tannins and a great finish that just goes on and on. The balance is amazing. Even better than 2009. Drink from 2018.
Wine Advocate: 100 Points
The 2010 Le Pin is made from 100% Merlot. Deep garnet in color, it bursts from the glass with unbridled, hedonic notions of baked plums, Black Forest cake, Chinese five spice and blueberry pie plus wafts of smoked meats, candied violets, dark chocolate and cigar box. Medium-bodied, the palate exudes slow maturing black and blue berry layers, framed by firm, oh-so-plush tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing with incredible length and depth. Already drop dead gorgeous, this beautiful baby has a very long life ahead!
Wine Spectator: 99 Points
A sleeping giant, with an immense core of pure raspberry and kirsch fruit surrounded by a gorgeous graphite frame. As large-scaled as it is, this remains remarkably lithe, with a black tea and allspice perfume gilding the finish. Caressing and almost approachable now, but there's so much density and definition here that it will be fun to watch this age over the next generation. Basically the '90, just dialed up to 11. -- Non-blind Le Pin vertical (December 2015). Best from 2020 through 2040. 458 cases made. (Collectible)
