Chateau Pichon Baron 2010 Pauillac Bordeaux 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Robert Parker: Administrator Christian Seeley thinks the 2010 isthe greatest Pichon Longueville Baron he has ever made, equalingsome of the estate’s colossal wines from vintages such as 1989 and1990. It was certainly showing well when I stopped by the chateauin January. Opaque purple, with loads of charcoal, licorice,incense and some exotic Asian spices along with abundant cassisliqueur, blackberry and hints of roasted coffee and spring flowers,it is full-bodied and opulent, with relatively high tannins, butthey have sweetened up considerably and seem less aggressive thanthey did from barrel. The oak is clearly pushed to the backgroundby the wine’s wealth of fruit, glycerin and full-bodied texture.This sensational Pichon Longueville Baron needs 5-6 years ofcellaring, and should keep 30+ years.
