Description

This is a marvellous example of aged Pauillac from the excellent “super second” estate, Château Pichon Longueville Baron. After a change of hands and the introduction of Jean-Michel Cazes in 1985, the 1989 vintage was a landmark release that set in motion a real change in fortune for the estate and brought it back to prominence. Now approaching its peak, it is rich with black fruits interlaced with savoury nuances of truffle, earth, leather and graphite.

94 Points Neal Martin Vinous
The 1989 Pichon-Baron remains a magnificent wine after almost 30 years. The bouquet is intense: aromas of blackberry, cedar, and a touch of bacon fat and mint storm from the glass and gain intensity with aeration. The harmonious, medium-bodied palate delivers fine tannin, a perfect bead of acidity and gentle grip in the mouth. The ample black fruit is laced with graphite toward the finish, and the aftertaste is sustained. This is the first bona fide great Pichon-Baron of the modern era. Tasted at the Pichon-Baron vertical at the château. Drink 2018-2038.
