Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 18/20
Tasted blind. Lustrous crimson. Polished and sophisticated nose. Thick and sweet. Burly, impressive stuff with lots of intensity. Dry finish for the moment. Falls away a little suddenly. Great energy. Good wine but not the best vintage of Pichon Baron.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2043

“Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Pichon-Longueville Baron is enticingly scented of chocolate-covered cherries, crushed red currants and mulberries with touches of baking spices, potpourri and bay leaves plus a hint of fallen leaves. Sumptuously elegant, refreshing and medium-bodied with gorgeous, expressive, perfumed red fruits and very fine, very firm tannins, it has a persistent, perfumed finish. Its remarkable intensity, freshness and very firm frame suggest a long-lived Pichon Baron, which should cellar gracefully for 30+ years.”
