Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 15 minutes. First time with this producer and it was quite nice. There is a nice core of red apple fruit, with lemony citrus, medium body, good clean minerality and plenty of zesty acidity. I'll look forward to trying again in a different setting.

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 15 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed this yet again. I love the elegance and purity with pear, orchard fruit, crystalline minerality and wonderful balance. My note from 12/23/14 is was largely consistent with tonight. Just a lovely bottle.

I just took a small pour of this. Apple, tart, mineral, red berry, slightly sour grapefruit on the back end, fuller body, more masculine as expected, very good. 90+pts.

Light-medium golden color. Drank 2 glasses over an hour. Fantastic stuff. I was fortunate enough to have both the '04 and then the '03 this week and they were both splendid. The '03 is really hitting its stride now, getting better every time I have it. The similarities though are quite striking. I love the toast and biscuit, hints of smoke, roasted nuts, pear, floral, lemon, sea foam, elegant and intense on both the nose and palate. A wonderfully fine expansive bead. Definitely one of my WOTN's. 94+pts.

Light gold color. Small pour. There's some peach to go along with the citrus in this medium bodied wine with some toasted oak. Youthful and tasty.

This was fun, aromatic, floral, tropical fruits, a nice ripeness with sweet nectarine and a nice roundness. Very good. Went well with our salad.

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Way to go out on a high note! You gotta love it when the last bottle is the best yet. This had laser beam of mouthwatering acidity, bright citrus fruits with lemon and tangerine, sea shell minerality and quite a bit of energy, very good length. Classic Chablis, and for a value bottle this really delivers the goods. 91+ to 92pts.

Very dark red color. Double decanted and uncorked for 4 hours after per Chablis28. Drank 1 glass over an hour plus and again on day 2. I think Craig is being a little too hard on his bottle. I thought this was beautiful expression on the nose and palate. The nose was quite floral and elegant, with tar, creosote, tobacco, and lovely red fruits. The palate was medium bodied, also elegant, balanced and has very good length. The tannins are firm but ripe and lush. I had a little left that sat overnight in my glass and it was even smoother showing more overall integration of the tannins. I loved it.

Very dark red color. PNP I believe, drank 1 glass over an hour plus and again on day 2. Grippy and youthful, but some nice leather and red berry and cherry fruit, exotic spices, develops a bit of perfume. Medium body. Drinks young. 90+pts.

Very dark red.purple color, no bricking. Slow-O for 4 hours and then double decanted for 2 hours. This was just a lovely bottle. It really shows off what Pichon Baron does and is classic Pauillac. I love that perfumed essence that just flows out of the glass, with damp earth, fresh pencil shavings, leather, and cigar on top of a beautiful core of pristine cassis and dark berries. The palate reflects the nose with purity and sophistication, there's a depth and focus that resonates through the lengthy finish. Loved it. It was also fun to drink it next to the '95 Dunn Howell Mtn which was gorgeous and none too shabby itself. 94+ to 95pts.

Very dark purple/red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour and again on day 2. The nose is intriguing with the floral aromatics and bacon fat reminiscent of the Northern Rhone, but there is a bit of an herbal edge there as well on top of the dark blackberry and black plum fruit. The palate initially struck me as a bit intense with extract, alcohol and tannin. It settle a bit over an hour, but the true evolution transpired overnight with the little bit I saved in glass. The green edginess was gone, the tannins softened dramatically and the whole thing came together and worked. Ahh, the benefit of some air. Score is based on day 2.

This kind of got short shrift tonight. It was the last red poured at our table. I kind of forgot about it while all the other wines were flying around later. I ended up putting my glass back in the bag and and bringing it home. Tried it again the next day around noon and kind of did a double take. I'd written '99 on the glass and I had to stop and think about it for a minute to remember which '99 it was. I have to say it seemed to show more refinement with rose petals and brighter red fruits. There was a ton of sediment and it didn't seem to impact the evolution any. Hmm, don't know what to say Craig. Wish you could have tasted it again. It was pretty darn good.

Deep gold color. Drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Showing well, probably the best bottle to date. Good texture, honey, prominent botrytis, orange marmalade, apricot, full, spiced finish. 92+ to 93pts.

Small pour. Outstanding again, maybe not quite the bottle that we've had before, but it also may be that I didn't get very much to really savor. Still a wonderful pour and always a pleasure to drink. It was fun to have it before the Dom as there are some definite similarities. Nice toastiness and elegance yet definitive in its expression.

Pale gold color. Small pour, fairly classic, lots of citrus, grapefruit, tart and crisp.

Light-medium red color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. I think Mike Z's note is pretty spot on. I loved this. Had no expectations going in and this was wonderfully aged and nuanced. The fruit was still lively with dried berries and cherry on top of the deeply earthiness, good acid, floral elements and mineral character. Thanks, that was eye opening.

Medium bricked red color. PNP, Drank a small pour over 15 minutes. This really was delightful. A lovely bottle that was well preserved. Very earthy, vegetal, mushroom, lacy, dried flowers, leather, the mid palate reminds me of an older Lopez. boy these are good when they're pristine. 93+pts.

DOA

Dark amber color. Heavily oxidized.

Small pour. This was very good, lemon,, lemon oil, medium full body, lots of stony minerality, nice texture and balance, lovely. 92+pts.

Very small pour. Another beautifully aged bottle tonight. Medium dark red color, mild bricked margin. PNP. There is a great dried earthiness with red fruits shining through, leather, perfume, fine tobacco leaf, mineral dense. Loved this. I agree with Jason's assessment on longevity as well. Thanks for sharing Jason.

Small pour, from mag. Classic Pegau and a beautiful 200 again. Really nice garrigue, Provencal essence, violets, dried spice, earth and funk in a medium full body with so much zip and pretty fruit.

Very small pour. Good with some deep red fruits, herbal,;as Brad noted, very good with the pork.

Small pour. Vanilla, very dark fruit, blackberry, medium full body, lush, layered and concentrated, long.

very dark red/purple color. Drank 1 glass from mag over 30 minutes and again on day 2. This was another wine that I had saved a bit. It was good on the first go round, maybe a tad firm, but man was it classic and beautiful on day two, Amazing floral perfume and a silken texture with wonderful black and red fruits, raspberry, gorgeous dusty tannins.. 92 on day 1 and 93+ on day 2.

Very small taste, didn't take any notes on this, just remember liking it and thinking it was holding up.

I got a small pour of this too. I think i have Brad to thank for sharing some from his glass. I just remember thinking this is ready and balanced, lovely fruit, cedarbox, leather, great integrated tannins. Maybe better than my score with a limited impression. 94(+?)pts.

Had a nice pour of this one. Light gold color. You'd never in a million years guess this is 25 years old. So fresh and racy with brilliant minerality, invigorating palate, lemon with great purity, WOW, amazing and earthy, almost lean in a great way, very long. Amazing! Thanks a ton Dave.

Very small pour. Another lovely Chablis, elegant and fine, clean sea shell minerals, light citrus and white fruits, lighter body. Excellent.

Small pour side by side with the '95 Pichon Baron. Darn nice, really elegant, love these with age. Nice ripe cassis, and dark raspberry fruits, briar, leather, floral, wood spices, sleek tannins, excellent.

small pour. Light gold color. Just a little baby, but it is a boisterous, nay, precocious child that will develop into a beautifully mature adult one. delicious now, sweet, a bit sappy, lush, ripe beautiful peach and pineapple fruits with citrus and white flowers. 93-95(+)pt potential.
