Cru Classé 2016</span></strong></span></h2> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>100/100 Decanter</strong></span><br /> "Pichon Baron 2016 is a riveting, classy wine, richly aromatic and expressive from the start with a complex bouquet of black cherry, liquorice, graphite, menthol and subtle spices. The palate combines fleshy texture and linearity. The fine-grained tannins have the laser-like precision that Christian Seely likes so much, and contribute to the overall impression of crystalline purity so conducive to the terroir expression of this benchmark wine destined to reach new heights over the next 20 to 30 years. Magnificent wine."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">99/100 James Suckling</span></strong><br /> "The concentration and largesse of the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent from the get-go with incredibly alluring, ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry, dark-cherry, mulberry and plum zone. Espresso and cedar, as well as a slate-like, stony mineral edge add complexity. The palate has incredible depth, drive and detail. Fine and plush tannins stretch the palate in every direction. So fresh and vivacious, this is the greatest Pichon Baron since 1989 and has a long future."</span></span></em></p> <div><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>99/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider</em></span></span></strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><em>"Deep in color, the nose entices you with tobacco, smoke, crème de cassis, forest floor and burnt wood. The wine offers depth, concentration and richness, with length and character. The wine is full bodied, rich, multi-layered and multi faceted. This is a cellar worthy stunner that demands 10-15 years of age before you want to pull a cork, but patience is going to be a virtue here."</em></span></span><br />  </div> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>97/100 Jeb Dunnuck</strong></span><br /> "Tasting like a hypothetical mix of the 2009 and 2010, its deep purple color is followed by a powerful yet sensationally pure bouquet of crème de cassis, blackberries, lead pencil shavings, and graphite, and is just about as quintessentially Pauillac as it gets. Full-bodied, fleshy and even a touch flamboyant, it has sweet tannins and a monster texture that coats the palate. Count me in as a huge fan." </span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>97/100 Robert Parker</strong></span><br /> "... offers a suave and seductive nose of warm red and black currants, black plum preserves, truffles, tapenade and rose hip tea with touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice plus a waft of iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, firmly structured and packed with mineral and exotic spice-laced black fruits, it finishes very long with compelling herbal sparks."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>97/100 Wine Enthusiast</strong></span><br /> "As often with this estate, this wine combines opulent richness and an elegant structure. It is a bold wine, ripe and full of black fruits. But it holds together impressively, with nothing in excess. The wine will age well"</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>96/100 Vinous</strong></span></span></span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">"Sensual and super-expressive, with soft contours, silky tannins and exceptional finesse, Pichon Baron is one of the more accessible wines in its peer group today. Plum, mocha, leather, spice and chocolate all build effortlessly."</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>96/100 Wine Spectator</strong></span><br /> "Very fleshy in feel, though there's ample grip to keep this red grounded, echoing with tar and humus accents through the finish. A thumper. Best from 2025 through 2040. (JM)    (3/2019)</span></span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>18,5/20 Jancis Robinson</strong></span><br /> "Dense, dramatic, splashy wine with great balance and lift. Lots of energy and masses of old Cab in here. Really snazzy. Long."  </span></span></em></p> <h2><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Om Château Pichon-Baron </span></strong></span></h2> <p><em><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Da Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville i 1850 lå for døden, delte han sin Pauillac-ejendom i to. Til sine døtre gav han Pichon Lalande, mens sønnen Raoul fik overdraget Pichon-Baron. </span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Begge slotte blev hædret som 2. Cru Classé i 1855-klassifikationen. I årtierne frem til 1987 blev der hvilet på laurbærbladene, og Pichon-Baron var en skygge af sig selv. Efterfølgende har AXA Millésime, anført af Jean-Michel Cazes og (siden 2000) Christian Seely, ført Pichon-Baron tilbage på ret kurs. </span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Håndhøstede druer, optisk sortering, nye produktionsfaciliteter, osv. osv. I dag anvendes kun topdruer til slottets ”Grand Vin”, som ofte udfordrer Pauillac-naboen Ch. Latour og de andre 1. Crus.  Derfor kaldes 2. Cru Pichon-Baron for en ”super second”.</span></em></p>
