Description

From the grand plateau of Pichon Baron comes one of our favourites of the vintage. An intense show of dark juicy fruit, chocolate and a little bit of liquorice, this is a brooding, serious and savoury wine. The finish is refreshing and saline finish, indicative of the terroir, and the vintage. Beautifully in balance, the fruit was picked in the third week of October showing a “restrained ripeness”.
