(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

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) Very dark red violet color; aromatic, appealing, black raspberry, black cherry, tart black currant nose; youthful, primary still, black raspberry, black cherry, tart black currant palate; needs 6-plus years; medium-plus finish
(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.

(Château Pichon-Longueville Baron) Very tasty, coffee, tart cherry, cassis palate; medium-plus finish

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.

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.

A complete wine and clearly in its drinking window. Silky smooth - a bit linear. Soft tannins that linger. I think this is at it's apogee. Drink now.
