Aerated: 2hrs, but should be 3hrs. Lovely wine. Full bodied. Long, Long finish. Tons of dark cherry, plum, prune, hint of hawthorn, flint, caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee, nutmeg, and leather. Will have again in a few months. Great paired with hanger steak. Highly saturated wine by great producer. Nice QPR. Recommend.

Uncork the bottle 1 hour in advance. Medium to full bodied. It is similar to my other bottle 2018 Pichon Comtesse Réserve. This Les Griffons de Pichon Baron has more tobacco and spice, but less sweetness. Soft tannins. It's very pleasant to drink now.

Strong aroma and mellow tannins. Seemed 90% mature, perfectly drinkable (and enjoyable) now. Probably the finish could be longer, but otherwise better than many first wines - a natural outcome of a top vintage, a top producer, and grapes from vines that after a decade or so will go into the first wine.

We drank 3 bottles. All delicious.
Uncork the bottle 1 hour in advance. No formal tasting note. Lovely wine.
