    April 15, 2024 - Another 2004 horizontal (Hawksmoor Guildhall): Soft, rounded, sensual nose. Very approachable and easy to drink, with a hint of savour and some sweetness and decay showing with air. Fabulous with the T-bone, then, but I actually preferred the punchier showing when I last had this in 2020. Given that, I'm tempted to leave my other bottles a few years in order to lean into the wine's tertiary side.

    April 15, 2024 - Jonathan’s/Nick’s 04 Bordeaux (Hawksmoor Guildhall, London): Dense mid to full ruby. Some blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaf, softer with a touch of mocha. Some spice. Soft and approachable. Really quite giving. Lovely but not quite up to the promise of the 06 Bibendum tasting or a subsequent bottle at the 09 Alba PB offline.

    April 14, 2024 - Less power than expected, came across a bit flat, but with time fine flavours, plums, leather, very fresh... Drink now.

    April 5, 2024 - Excellent for the vintage. As good as Palmer 2004 I drank recently. Nose of cassis, leather, pencil lead, tobacco and peppery note. Palate is fairly rich, dark fruit and leather, some mushroom and tobacco and chocolate notes and smooth tannins. Medium finish

    (Château Pichon-Longueville Baron) 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Dark, but slightly lighter in color than the 2005. Lifted, fruit-driven, fresh cassis aromas. Midweight, fresh, and balanced, with a mineral backbone. This elegant wine has lovely, sweet fruit, without the power of the 2005. Enormously appealing. Drink in six to 15 years.

    (Château Pichon-Longueville Baron) Classic second-growth Pauillac from an undervalued vintage. About 75% high-end Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in mostly new French oak. Still a little tight, but already complex. A great choice for cellaring that will only increase in value. Hot Picks

    (CHATEAU PICHON BARON) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-beautiful; red & black fruits (dark cherries, cassis, black blueberries & blackberries); very dark; mocha/chocolate; subtle creaminess; TASTE-Delicious; huge attack of flavor; intense "all fruit" jam components, but not like fruit bombs that are driven by sugar; really rounded edges are vegetal while the fruit is so intense; the silkiness and polish is exceptional; A "DoubleBubble" (big boy that can last for 15 years easy, but still approachable now); exceptionally good; destroys 90% of Napa Cabs at this price point; RP-93; GV-93
