Have you ever been water boarded with the essence of spring poured out of a narwhal horn by an angel? Me either, but I would imagine it tastes something like this. Damn, @Lyle Fass — 8 years ago

Saturday night...time for steak and claret as my buddy Gary Westby says. In this scenario, I envisioned the wine being equal or even better than my steak. Not to toot my horn but most everyone that's had my steak simply says meaningfully that it is the best they've had. Myself, I've only had one better the Ribcap at Bourbon Steak in SF; which sadly closed as the hotel took back the space they were in. Hopefully, soon to reopen again elsewhere in SF. However, back to the Pichon Baron. I can't say I loved it. I wanted to love it as it is one of my favorite properties in Pauillac. The wine isn't bad but it just never shined. Maybe, it's just not a good moment in it's evolution to open. It's soft, elegant but missing the beauty, flavors and complexity I've come to expect. The fruits are dry blackberry, dark cherries, black raspberries, a touch of juicy strawberries and black plum skin. Dark dry powdery minerals, saddlewood, lead pencil savings, underbrush, dry dark earth, dry pebbles. There is not much on the mid palate, it finishes a little flat and the fruits never really shined. Surprising for such a warm vintage. Hoping it improves over the years as I've got 5 more. Unusual that the wine really needed the steak more than the steak needed the wine. — 9 years ago

This fine thing pulls me in as I breath her earthen essence faintly fragrantly post-rain flowerlike wet, dripping a whiff of some distant weed working its way around the corner as a horn player lays out a rhythm to which we dance turning, twisting, eyeing discriminately she shows her plum-to-burgundy rim, then goes deeper, as she lightly touched my lips showing red fruit unctuously lava-like clinging leaving a ripe plum-like memory touched by cassis long and lasting begging for more - so we continue...amazing locally-farmed, open-water oysters... — 9 years ago

Whoa baby. Sans soufre and beautiful. Allemand is elegant, floral and perfect. Opening this led to a baby unicorn getting her horn. — 10 years ago

Tonight I ride a lightly flower'd spice through luxuriant honey-stalk'd moors. Capricious tongues! Yon elixir does entice, quaffing until endrunkedness obscures a horn-mad brain pan lusting for vice. — 11 years ago

2013 vintage. At a sunny Cap Horn, Courchevel. Pale lemon green hue. Creamy apple sauce. Honeysuckle and lemon citrus. Youthful. On the palate, very balanced. High acidity, good concentration of flavour and persistent finish. Well made Chablis. Drink 2020-2030. — 9 years ago

I was high as a kite drinking this so to me it tasted like a rainbow that was shot from a mango, and some morning dew collected from the horn of a unicorn. ... It was really tasty — 10 years ago

Stunning nose, citrus, lime, chalky, limestone, great nose. Palate is deep and citrusy. A deep, dense and thick wine with elegance, super minerals, lanolin, and an endless finish. Insane acids. Needs 5 years. — 8 years ago

Wow nice wine. Very beautiful & bright dark ruby color with very nice aromas of red fruits, berries, cedar wood, and cigarette on the nose. Full-bodied and followed by full flavor of ripe plum, fresh raspberry, caramel, and spicy almond on the palate. Elegant texture, firm & smooth tannins, and reasonable & soft length at the end. Dry & a bit of complexity; like it and want to taste the real Duck Horn next time. — 9 years ago

World-beater. Tight and blended, like Tom Petty's "You got Lucky". Could have aged a little more, but not taking the chance. The last bottle was like Oliver's horn before he was rewired. This one was full Opel Cadet. — 9 years ago

Lunch on a Friday with guests from Portland OR. 13 year old BB and fresh as the newly fallen snow, if the newly fallen snow was packed in a horn and buried underground on a leaf day. This bottle was Bour-Gone in minutes. — 12 years ago
