Château Pichon-Longueville, Baron--Vintage 1998
Pauillac, 2me cru classé
Tasting Note: A definitive Pauillac, the dense purple-coloured 1998 Pichon-Baron offers up a sweet bouquet of liquorice, smoke, asphalt, blackberries, and crème de cassis. In the mouth, the wine is elegant rather than full-blown, with medium body, sweet fruit, nice texture on the attack and mid-palate, and moderate tannin in the long finish. No, this is not as profound as the 1996, 1990 or 1989, but it is an outstanding effort. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 134, April 2001.
