A very structured and racy PB with blackcurrant stone and black cherry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with racy and fine tannins that are precise and focused. Elegance with structure. 81% cabernet sauvignon and 19% merlot.

The 2022 Pichon Baron is marvelous. It continues a series of vintages that have been absolutely compelling. Bright red-toned fruit spice rose petal and blood orange lend considerable brightness throughout. More than anything else the 2022 impresses with its precision and magnificent balance.

I loved the Grand Vin 2022 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron which is based on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot that will spend 18 months in 70% new oak.

An unusually gourmand sensual wine from this estate the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts with aromas of crème de cassis sweet dark berries licorice lilac and pencil shavings. On the palate it's medium to full-bodied layered and velvety with excellent concentration and a rather rich supple profile. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot it's the result of sub-block by sub-block picking and cooler than usual fermentation temperatures.
