Outstanding wine for the vintage. 1976 is a fair year but this bottle (0.75l) was outstanding. Opened one hour before tasting. Wine opened very quickly. Fruit still very strong. Pichon baron is definitely one of the strongest 2eme Cru.

tasted from a bottle and a magnum. The 2005 bottle was as good as expected even if the wine could wait for the next 5-10years. the 2005 magnum was way too young as we wasted the magnum as waiting for a minimum 10y seems necessary.

A very pleasant wine.
This is not the best Margaux but given our expectation, we were positively surprised.
We opened the bottle 2h before.
