90 / B
Tasted by Mike Supple - 05 Jan 2009
Black/purple core with a ruby rim. Rich aromas with warm, toasty oak and vanilla surrounding ripe blueberry, sweet eucalyptus, plum and grape Big League Chew Gum. Great entry on the palate with dark black cherry, blackberry and blueberry leading the charge. Full bodied with full, chalky tannins. Toasty, charred oak and blackberry on the finish with a touch of minerality.
This wine is a second label of the famous Bordeaux estate Pichon-Longueville Baron. A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.

Medium ruby core with a fuchsia rim. Bold plum and blackberry aromas. A bit closed up front, but fantastic mouthfeel. Very nice acid and soft ripe tannins.
