Château Pichon Longueville, Baron 2004 (12 BT)

Château Pichon Longueville, Baron 2004

Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé

Good levels, labels peeling slightly at corners

A really classy nose - here you can see the breed of the terroir. Very fine texture and superfine fresh black fruit that is totally silky on the palate. Gives enormous pleasure. Medium-term drinking. Later in 2008, a really opulent, chocolatey taste which is very attractive. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
