Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 6, 2024 - Tasted double blind. While the vintage may not be among the great ones, this Pichon showed well tonight. Initially, there were some slightly murky notes, but fortunately, they quickly faded away, revealing a classic and enjoyable Bordeaux. It may be beyond its peak, yet it retains sufficient structure and fruitiness to remain good for a few more years.

TN: Shy but inviting bouquet with dark berries and some smoke notes. On the palate with a bit more intensity and clearer defined dark fruits, alongside classic graphite minerality, smoke and leathery notes and herbs. Melted tannins but still good tension, good freshness and overall very well balanced. Overall, this wine misses a bit of depth and definition.

Decanting: Not decanted, a short decant should be sufficient.
