Another bottle. Still great! Can’t think of a better house red. Freaking delicious for around $30. Has pedigree. Will go with a steak. Very serious wine but also worthy of a mindless 7pm Monday evening

The four extra years compared to yesterday's bottle doesn't hurt

This gets the score because of the value. Pop and pour. Uber clean... le pin roots in Castillon. Unbelievable value. 90% merlot. Ripe, plump and delicious yet still very Bordeaux and fresh. Highly highly recommended

Blind side by side with Petrus 2015 and this one was the winner. Of course this one is at peak and Petrus is way too young but it says everything about L’Hêtre. Respect

The poor man’s Chateau Le Pin, new property by J Thienpont and 2016 is first vintage. Really good and elegant merlot with a dollop of cab franc. Fresh and balanced, hints fo dark fruits and flowers, dar and red fruits, very polished tannins. Great deal at this price point. Drink or hold.
