Chateau Pichon-Longueville au Baron Description
Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron Pauillac 2010 is borderline perfection in a bottle, it boasts a saturated purple color as well as truly extraordinary aromatics of creme de cassis, licorice, crushed rock-like minerality, graphite, and spring flowers. Possessing full-bodied richness, a huge, unctuous mid-palate, and building tannin, it shows the purity, grandeur, and precision that makes this vintage so remarkable. Hide bottles for another 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy bottles over the following 2-3 decades.
Wine Advocate: 97-99 Points
A prodigious, blockbuster effort...but may be even greater with 30 years of longevity... Black/purple-colored with super concentration and richness as well as full body, it offers an awesome display of creme de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice, camphor and spring flowers. Stunningly pure and unctuously textured with high but sweet, well-integrated tannins, this superstar of the vintage is definitely a wine to purchase as a future. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2040.
