2011 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron 2nd Grand Cru Classe

Other Reviews….

Robert Parker Wine Advocate #200 Apr 2012 (90-92+) Drink: 2015 - 2035.
This splendid Pauillac estate's 2011 exhibits an impressively saturated ruby/purple color as well as notes of spring flowers interwoven with creme de cassis, licorice and background incense and toasty oak. The tannins are firm and the wine is medium-bodied and rich with layers of fruit and extract as well as a long finish. An outstanding example of the vintage, it will need 3-4 years of cellaring and should drink well for 15-20 years.

James Suckling 92-93.
Very pretty aromas of currants and blueberries with hints of flowers. Full body with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Refined. Very polished tannins.
