| Robert Parker 90 Points | "A major sleeper of the vintage, this under-the-radar Pauillac from the owners Pichon Longueville Baron comes from a 42-acre vineyard, and the blend is divided equally between two grapes, Cabernet Sauvignonand Merlot. Classic smoky barbeque notes intermixed with cassis, forest floor and cedar jump from the glass of this densepurple, thinck, unctuous textured, rich and heady wine, which can bedrunk in 3-4 years. Moreover, it should lastfor up totwo decades.' |
