Pichon Baron other_regions An overtly ripe yet agreeably

An overtly ripe yet agreeably fresh nose mixes notes of spice

the wine has moderate weight and sweet fruit in the nose and on the attack

almost understated finish in context of the growing season

bringing a spicy personality that belies a profound and deep nature

especially when you add in the mature mouth feel and taste

Pichon Baron other_regions An overtly ripe yet agreeablyThe 1999 Pichon Baron now has better precision and focus than the 1998. The nose of blackberry, graphite and smoke is not intense but gains vigor with continued aeration. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin and a little brine on the entry, and quite saline, showing moderate depth. It just feels a bit foursquare toward the finish. It will not improve further, so drink over the next five or six years. Neal Martin
