Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2018

Pauillac, Bordeaux

OWC

Colour
97-99
96+

"The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is made up of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The Merlot was harvested September 24-25, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested October 3-10. The wine is to be aged 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old, and production represents 50% of the harvest this year. Very deep purple-black colored, it begins a little coy, rolling slowly and languidly out of the glass with notions of baked raspberries, blueberry coulis, crème de cassis and incense plus nuances of lilacs, truffles, damp soil and garrigue with wafts of lavender and wild sage. Full-bodied, voluptuous and oh-so-seductive, the palate reveals layer upon layer of savory, earthy and black fruit preserves, framed by wonderfully ripe, velvety tannins and lovely freshness, finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful." Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Aromas of intense blackberries, white pepper and sandalwood. Seductive silky tannins, cool, ripe expansive fruit on the mid palate, gravel note and vibrant acidity that energises the persistent finish. Immense structure; Built to age. Drink 2030+. 98/100 L'Assemblage (our bottled note October 2020)
