Note di degustazione
Lots of cassis, graphite, chalky minerality, and sappy herb notes emerge from the 2019 Château Pibran, a rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated Pauillac. I love its purity of fruit, the balance is spot on, and the tannins, while present, are perfectly ripe and polished. It's not a blockbuster and shows the more elegant style of the vintage, but it's a gorgeous, classy Pauillac that will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and have 25+ of prime drinking.

The 2019 Pibran offers up aromas of plums, sweet berries, loamy soil and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with polished tannins and a succulent core of fruit, it's a charming, giving wine from a cooler site than Pichon Baron, with limestone soils and a higher proportion of Merlot in the blend.
The 2019 Pibran was aged 50% in new oak and the rest in one-year-old oak for 18 months. It has a bouquet similar to the one I tasted from barrel, retaining those same black plum and tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied with some lovely graphite notes struck through the black fruit, and maybe just a little firmer on the finish. Very fine.
