Details
Château Pichon-Longueville, Baron--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Has turned out to be even better than I thought from cask. The high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend (about 80 resulted in a wine that has put on weight in the bottle. An opaque purple colour is accompanied by beautiful aromas of tobacco, new saddle leather, roasted coffee, and cassis. It is dense, medium to full-bodied, and backward, with moderately high tannin, but plenty of sweet fruit, glycerin, and extract to balance out the wine's structure. This well-endowed, classic Pauillac should be at its finest between 2006-2022. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate
