Community Tasting Note

  June 4, 2019 - Tasted alongside the Pichon Baron '96, perhaps unfairly, this showed a much more macho side with very strong tobacco aromas, a full box of Havannas, and a dominant meaty, gamey, barnyard aspect that wasn't unattractive but maybe in need of further integration. The fruit is still foursquare, stocky, with cassis overtones, and the tannin still bites. Who knows if it will resolve itself, given the vintage, but I found this one in want of a bit more TLC in a dark cellar before showing its best.
