The nose pops with spicy, red currants, tobacco leaf, flowers, blackberries and lead pencil. The wine is medium-bodied, crisp, fresh, bright and with a nice sweetness to the red fruits. There is lift, and energy to the bright red fruits that linger in the finish. Drink from 2026-2040.

(92-94 vvPunkte) 63% Cabernet, 37% Merlot) Leuchtendes Rubinrot, ziemlich dunkel. Die Nase ist leicht rauchig, frisch und zeigt Würze, reine Cassisfrucht, subtile Floralität. Im Gaumen von mittlerem Körper, sehr vertikal, schlanker und finessenreicher als auch schon, was dem höheren Cabernet-Anteil zu verdankten ist, sehr knackige Frucht, die Tannine sind fein verwoben, hochwertig und markant, jedoch nie aufdringlich. Im Abgang mit viel Frische. Ausgezeichnet. (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Pichon Baron) vvWine.ch

From a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot, the wine offers a floral and leafy herbed character due to the large percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. The wine is medium-bodied, crisp, fresh, bright and vibrant, with a strong vibrant, peppery bite to the berries on the palate. There is lift, and crunchy red fruits in the finish. Drink from 2026-2040. 89-91

En-Primeur campaign for the 2021 vintage; 4/25/2022-4/29/2022 (Bordeaux): Shown at Pichon Baron Ripe black fruit; plums over blackcurrant with a little black cherry, slightly woody notes, graphite. Juicy initially it proves a little bit hard and drying from a tannic perspective, but this doesn’t impede the fruit which remains rather pretty. Nice.
