Note di degustazione
The 2014 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron felt very muted on the nose despite coaxing from the glass. Eventually, it reluctantly reveals scents of blackberry and raspberry pastilles, a touch of warm gravel/bricks underneath, though I would like more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, an elegant Pauillac for certain with silky smooth tannin and very well-judged acidity. Perhaps the growing season deprived it of the substance, yet this feminine wine should drink well for a decade or more.

Dark cherry, plum, grilled herbs and smoke flesh out in the 2014 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron, a second wine that is essentially composed of the barrels that don't make it into the Grand Vin. I would prefer to drink this forward, succulent wine over the next handful of years. The blend is 55 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 45 % Merlot.
The 2014 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron, a selection of barrels that don't make it into the Grand Vin, is open, supple and quite expressive, with boisterous fruit and an inviting personality. Sweet plum, red cherry, smoke and licorice flesh out nicely in the glass. The 2014 finishes with a lovely burst of energy and saline-infused freshness. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot.
