Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,351 g. 59% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 18 months in barriques (60% new). Low-acid vintage. Designed to be drunk between 3 and 10 years from the harvest. Firm mid crimson. Approachable sweet Pauillac with a certain mineral stoniness underneath. Dry finish. Lots of mineral qualities. Serve this relatively warm as there is still a tannic framework. (JR)

The 2019 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron has a slightly evolved nose, red fruit mixed with melted tar and mixed herbs. The palate is better with firm tannins, fine acidity, quite a solid wine with admirable grip on the finish. Enjoy this over the next 10 to 12 years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.
Tasted blind. Simple colour. Sweet start and some light coffee aromas. Pleasant enough. Airline wine? (JR)
The second wine of this great estate, the 2019 Les Griffons De Pichon Baron is a more Merlot-dominated release and is 59% Merlot and 41% Cabernet Sauvignon that saw 40% new oak. It has a gorgeous nose of ripe blackcurrant and darker cherry fruits as well as tobacco, smoked herbs, violets, and freshly sharpened pencils. Vibrant, pure, and complex aromatically, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, has the vintage's pure, elegant character, terrific depth on the mid-palate, and outstanding length. It's a wonderful, already approachable Pauillac that will deliver the goods over the coming 20+ years.
