Note di degustazione
Seemingly on a whim, Thienpont whipped out another vintage just a couple of hours earlier. The 1992 Le Pin came from a half-bottle. This has a light and leafy nose, indicative of a cooler growing season, touches of seaweed and autumn leaves, though cohesive and holding up well. The palate is medium-bodied, with slightly coarse tannins, at least for Le Pin, maybe a little attenuated towards the finish, but nevertheless, a respectable showing given that this was a dismal year for the appellation.

This wine unquestionably possesses an excessive amount of toasty new oak for its fragile, delicate constitution. The wine displays medium to dark ruby color, an aggressively woody, slightly smoky, and herb-scented nose, and medium-bodied, black-cherry-like flavors that are insufficient to stand up to the veneer of wood. Low in acidity, slightly diluted, and full of cosmetic smoke, vanillin, and wood, it should be consumed over the next 5-6 years. Given the frightfully high price asked for the 500+ cases of Le Pin (usually an exotic as well as brilliant wine), this is a vintage when the proprietor should have declassified the wine.
