A harmonious Pichon Baron at its peak - layers of cedar, plush tannins and plenty of leather and dried blackberries. Drinking beautifully now but should keep easily for another 10 years.

Still tannic at 17 years of age, but there is a lot to like about the wine. It's deep, concentrated and long, with freshness, flavour and intensity. There is a firmness to the tannins that reminds me a good version of a 1986 Pauillac.

Really delightful, if a little lacking compared to a better vintage. Great balance of primary and secondary notes, it will last a few more years but I think it might be near or at its peak now. Black fruit, cedar, dust, mint, and some leather and tobacco. The nose is particularly enticing, the palate also good but a touch less so. Medium body, tannins seem pretty resolved at this point. At its best maybe 90 minutes into a decant.

Very attractive summer-berry nose. Sweetly perfumed fruit. Bright, solid cherry fruit. Not great length, but good concentration suggests promise.

A definitive Pauillac, the dense purple-coloured 1998 Pichon-Baron offers up a sweet bouquet of liquorice, smoke, asphalt, blackberries, and crème de cassis. In the mouth, the wine is elegant rather than full-blown, with medium body, sweet fruit, nice texture on the attack and mid-palate, and moderate tannin in the long finish. No, this is not as profound as the 1996, 1990 or 1989, but it is an outstanding effort. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.

Very firm and vigorous with lots of purple in the crimson and admirable freshness and structure still evident but clearly resolved enough, and ripe enough, to enjoy already. Both supple and subtle but still quite youthful. A success.

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.
