Product Description
RP98 "Revealing incredible quality and performing better than it did from barrel, the 2009 appears to be the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron since the 1990 and 1989. An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak between 2018 and 2045. - Robert M. Parker, Jr. Wine Advocate, December 2011.
Chateau Pichon Baron Second Growth, Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac
DR98 Attractive nose of elegant black fruit complicated by peppery spices and an alluring trace of smoke. After the subtle balance and delicacy of the 2008, this wine marks a return to the more formidable, classic style of Pichon Baron with its characteristic tension and upright structure and the powerful personality of a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine from one of the great terroirs of the Médoc. Precision and linearity on the palate but also a degree of racy restraint that indicates another decade at least will be necessary for the wine to really blossom. Bravo!
