Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Openess, vanilla, milkchocolate, expressive nose, perfect balance

Beautiful

Birth year tastings, evening 4. Concentrated, deep and dark mysterious color. Blackcurrant, creamy, moisty potting soil, oriental spices, fleshy notes, firm tannins, chalky, obvious but also nicely balanced use of wood, powerful and impressive. Still a baby, or rather, a toddler, with plenty years ahead of it.

Nosing blackcurrant with a chocolatey flavour, full bodied with ripe tannin

Four hour decant. Lush, rich with blackberries, black olives, cassis well balanced wine. It felt it had more to give than what I could get from it. Longer decant? Hold? Unsure. The dry tannin towards the end was a bit jarring

Needs more time but very well made.

Much better day 3

Smooth and delicious.

2006 lovely and smooth... tart cherry, chocolate, longer finish

2006 is dry and raisonated with great cherry leather and fig notes.
