Details
Château Pichon-Longueville, Baron 1996
Pauillac, 2ème cru classé
In original wooden case. Very slightly bin-soiled labels
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. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122 Apr 1999
