After letting the wine settle for the winter
this represents one of the best wines from this Margaux estate in recent years
This is showing well out of the gates
It has a very mineral-driven bouquet

2021 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac -ABV After letting the wine settle96 points, Vinous "Dark and brooding in bearing, the 2021 Pichon Baron is a somber, mysterious wine. It is every bit as impressive as it was en primeur. Graphite, leather, spice, mocha and dried herbs meld together in a wine of power, precision and contemporary classicism. It's one of my early favorites in this vintage. I won't be too surprised if it turns out even better than this note suggests." Antonio Galloni, February 2024 95 97 points, Vinous
