Château Pichon-Longueville Baron
Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Visiting again this splendid Paulliac from the 2011 vintage. 2011 vintage was labeled as mediocre in Bordeaux and this lovely wine showed that it is actually a classic vintage with some great wines, so trust the chateau not only the vintage. The nose is tempting with notes if coffee, earth, oak, cassis, black fruits and hints of chocolate, the body is full with round tannins, acidity is splendid and finish is long. My score 92, drink to 2026, perhaps longer

Lush and approachable. More fruit forward than its neighbors.

A bit young but very delicious after almost 2 hours of drinking & breathing. Intense ruby color with very nice aromas of black fruits, tobacco, & oak on the nose. Full-bodied and follows by very delicious flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant, and mocha on the palate. Solid structure, firm & round mouthfeel, medium acidity, load of silky tannins, and sumptuous & long aftertaste at the end.
