Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Robert Parker: 91 PunkteIts bigger, more famous sibling, the 2011 Pichon Longueville Baron exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, an opulent mouthfeel for a 2011, silky tannins and no hard edges. Medium-bodied and well-endowed, it is a major success in this vintage. It should hit its stride in 3-4 years and last for 15+. Wine Spectator: 92 PunkteShows a taut feel for now, with lots of cassis and blackberry fruit, lined with iron and bramble notes. Dark and well-toasted yet integrated overall, this should stretch out after moderate cellaring, as there's an ample core of dark, fleshy fruit. Trinkreife: von 2016 bis 2028Decanter: 17,5 PunkteRipe Cabernet cassis fruit, very good structure and length, firm Pauillac elegance.Trinkreife: von 2017 bis 2030
