The dense black fruits on the nose with a hint of plum cake are open and attractive, and the wine is rich, fleshy and easy to drink. A very well-made modern wine that needs time to soften the tannins. Give it three years. Suckling

The Chateau Moulinet 1990 from Pomerol, Bordeaux, France is a wine that exudes elegance and refinement. Upon opening, the deep ruby hue immediately catches the eye, hinting at the intensity of the vintage. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and tobacco mingle with subtle notes of leather and cedar. The palate is equally complex, with layers of ripe plum, blackberry, and dark chocolate, balanced by silky tannins and a hint of spice. The oak is well-integrated, adding depth and structure to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a rich and velvety sensation on the tongue. This wine has clearly aged gracefully, showcasing the quality and expertise of Chateau Moulinet. It is a true testament to the timelessness of Bordeaux wines. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years to fully appreciate its potential.

One of the most expensive Bordeaux wines - and indeed, one of the priciest anywhere - Le Pin is a surprisingly recent arrival on the global stage, with its first vintage having been produced just decades ago in 1979. Originally priced at a modest 700 francs, the praise garnered by the 1982 vintage propelled Le Pin into the global limelight, with sales from that point on par with - or exceeding - those of First Growth Bordeaux wines. An exotic style of Bordeaux, Le Pin possesses a resplendent, lavish mouth-feel with intensely ripe fruit aromas and hints of smoke on the palate.
