Pin Vintage:2006 The 2009 Barbaresco is absolutelyThe 2010 Le Pin is blessed with a supremely well defined and focused bouquet, red berry fruit, hints of star anis, black truffle and smoke that soar from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine grain tannins, a perfect line of acidity, very elegant in style with a precise, almost understated finish in context of the growing season. Outstanding.
