1994 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron
Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 16, 2019 - This is an awesome wine that drinks well above the reputation of the vintage. Quintessential Pauillac with pencil shavings, currant, flowers, and earth. The fruit is in great balance with the resolved tannins and supporting acidity. A complex classic Bordeaux that for my palate would put many modern wines to shame. I purchased this bottle on a whim in my early wine buying days and am so glad I did.

Having had several green, acidic, astringent Bordeaux from the 1994 vintage I usually shy away from it, but this wine was offered to me at a price hard to resist – and worth every cent. I would choose it over today's 14.5% or 15% ABV monsters any time.
