    May 6, 2024 - Drank for our 34th last nite at Troutbeck. Opened, but didn't decant for an hour appx. Should've decanted early, but decanted at the restaurant. Shy on the nose at first, but opened over dinner revealing lots of black fruit, cedar, pencil shavings and a hint of forest floor. Bigger bodied than I recall, with quite a full and very flavorful mouth feel. There is still a copious amount of rich black fruit on the front and mid-palate, along with wonderful tertiary notes of tobacco, earth, lead pencil, clove, spice and smoke. Great concentration and balance, and wonderfully long, full finish. The wine is in a great place right now as others have recently commented. As much as I enjoyed this bottle, I would still give it a very good, as opposed to a great rating as it is somewhat linear and is somehow missing that extra 'oomph' quality. Still, I'm not complaining and am quite happy that I still have a few of these in the cellar.

    April 6, 2024 - Loved it. Perfect place right now. Silky smooth not hugely complex but very balanced and lovely. Caht see any upside as fully resolved so why wait.

    April 3, 2024 - A bit disappointing showing, quite closed and never really opened up even with a half day decant. Outshined by the 01 next to it which was surprising.

    March 22, 2024 - (CDV)
    Une robe opaque, bordeaux foncée aux reflets grenats et marrons, l’aspect est assez singulier, évoquant du soleil et de la maturité.
    Nez magnifique, empyreumatique, musclé, confit, sérieux, très médocain (disons même très Pauillac dans son austérité), tabac, lardé, sous-bois, boîte à cigare…
    En bouche du moelleux enrobe des tanins accomplis de grande classe, le goût fumé du vin emplit le palais, rehaussé par un cassis solaire, des épices. C’est long, très long avec une incroyable énergie, et quel accord luxuriant avec l’agneau… 2000 n’y est sans doute pas pour rien!
    94/95

    March 17, 2024 - Med en klar fruktighet og en klassisk stil uttrykker denne vinen en myndig karakter. Den viser tett konsentrasjon og en knapt merkbar aldring, men er samtidig godt balansert og satt sammen. Åpenbart en imponerende vin som med minimum 10 år ekstra lagring vil bli blant de flotteste i sin årgang.

    (Château Pichon-Longueville Baron) 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Medium purple color. Wonderfully rich, complex, earthy, and warm on the nose and palate. Mineral, fresh, and savory. good length, with a little warmth on the finish as well. Still seems quite closed now, but has lovely balance. Drink in five to 15 years.
