Tasted at Roberson's Pichon Lalande/Pichon Baron vertical. It is a number of years since I have tasted this outstanding expression of a great Left Bank vintage. It has a sublime nose, slightly melted in character with pencil lead, blackberry, pencil box and some tertiary notes, moving more towards secondary aromas quicker than the Pichon Lalande '96 tasted alongside. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch more piquancy than the Pichon Lalande, perhaps not quite the harmony or complexity, but fresh and lively with notes of tar, cedar and brambly black fruits. I like the citric acidity threaded through this wine, lending so much vivacity and freshness. Very good ageing potential. Not in the same class as Pichon Lalande, but a thoroughly enjoyable Pauillac.

Served with Pichon Lalande 1996 at the Vintners' Company's International Wine Trade Dinner. The wines kept changing in the glass – as did my preference. But here's what I wrote initially. Lead-pencil nose but very slightly scrawny and taut initially. Not especially sweet nor generous but fine-boned and correct. A medium-weight classic that fell away slightly on the finish.

Dark colour, of good intensity, evolved. Intense nose, fruity, fine, perfumed. Entry on the palate immediately refined, then the wine melts, airy and noble in its touch, with flavour and a long flavoursome finish with present but melted tannicity. A good surprise!

Clearly more depth in colour than the preceding three years, and this is classic Pauillac, as with the 1995, but a little more structured. Cedar and cassis notes, still sombre and stubborn tannins, opens to show woodsmoke, cold ash, and touches of eucalyptus. 59IPT, 80% new oak.

It needs air to express itself. Beautiful typical Pauillac aromas (cedar, black fruits and spices). Very refined.

Decanted about 30 minutes, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated, tannic, masculine and classic. Loaded with tobacco leaf, smoke, wet earth and bright red fruits, the wine shows some bite in the fruit that works perfectly with the freshness. I am sure this will improve, but it is already quite tasty today.

Château Château Pichon Longueville Baron
Château Pichon Longueville Baron

Château Pichon Longueville Baron is one of the great names of the Pauillac appellation, classified as a 2nd grand cru classé in the 1855 classification. A neighbour of Latour, this gravelly estate has reclaimed its place at the top since its acquisition by AXA Millésimes in 1987: its grand vin, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, captivates with its depth, its aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco, and its remarkable ageing potential.

From the great successes of the late 1980s, such as the 1989, to the 1982 that has become legendary, through to more recent vintages such as the 2005 wine or the 2012 vintage, the wines of Château Pichon Longueville Baron rank among the most sought-after Pauillacs. The estate complements its grand vin with two second wines, Les Tourelles de Longueville and Les Griffons de Pichon Baron.
