2023 vintage. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Merlot, aged 18 months in barrels ( 50% new). This beauty is from the AXA Millésimes stable (also Pichon Baron and Suduiraut in Bordeaux), and it represents excellent Pauillac value (around 45 euro). Left bank 2023 Bordeaux wines seem to be very floral ( no idea why). Dark red with purplish rim. Flowers, cassis, blackberries, cedar, and dark chocolate. Power and elegance combined. Freshness, ripe tannins, and very good length. A beautiful Pibran that is hard to resist young, but should age beautifully. Abv. 13,5% — 5 days ago

Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2019 vintage. Medium-medium heavy bod. First third (of the palate) better than the last third. Makes promises and only partially keeps them. The 2018 had total follow-through. 3.18.26. — 6 months ago

Tom W outdid himself with this selection to be blind paired against Pibran left bank Bordeaux. Philip Titus is one of the very best. Well done Phil and Tom W. — 11 years ago
