  If you like a great cigar, you came to the right place as the first thing you notice is the cigar box, and tobacco wrapper nuances before moving to the smoke, leafy herb, creme de cassis, blackberries, spice, flowers, and forest floor in the perfume. The palate is even better with its multiple layers of black, with red fruits, mouthfuls of fresh, ripe, chewy, red berries, Indian spice, and a lingering finish that holds your focus for at least 50 seconds. The key to the vintage was patience during harvesting to achieve phenolic ripeness. This is the quintessential example of a classic, modern Bordeaux. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot. 13.2% ABV, 3.7 pH. The harvest took place September 17 for the Merlot, ending October 4 with the Cabernet. 44% of the harvest went into the Grand Vin. Drink from 2030-2065. 96-98 Pts.

  97-99 Punkte. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot. Ein faszinierender Duft, sehr tief, nobel, distinguierter als in anderen Jahren; klassisch am Gaumen, druckvoll, strukturiert, finessenreich, geschliffenes Tannin, feine Säure, ausgesprochen lang und mit salinem Abgang. Pichon-Eleganz auf höchstem Niveau. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 13.2 Alkohol)
