Wine Information

Château Pichon Longueville

Written Notes

Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2004 PT 90p 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. 55% Grand Vin IPT 68, 13.3% alc. Latest harvest for 20 years. Much more forward and expressive on the nose than the more backward 2005. Fresh cassis fruit with good ripeness. Medium full bodied on the palate with quite marked acidity and a slight edginess to the palate structure although there is certainly a generosity to the fruit so typical of the property now. The tannins are much softer already yet the creamy new oak still shows on the elegant finish. Needs five years to integrate. Drink 2016-2025.
