Description
Based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot raised in 80% new French oak.
The 2019 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is pure class and just a beautiful, seamless Pauillac that does everything right. Revealing a deep purple hue and textbook notes of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, freshly sharpened pencils, and liquid violets, it shows the more medium—to full-bodied, elegant style of the vintage yet is brilliantly concentrated. It has a supple, layered mouthfeel, ripe yet building tannins, and a great, great finish.
It's more open and expressive than Mouton and shares plenty of similarities with Comtesse's layered, supple, perfectly balanced, and classy style. It unquestionably already offers pleasure today (and it's a good time to try a bottle, as I wouldn't be surprised to see it close down), but it will need a decade to hit maturity, and it will be a 50-year wine.
