Omschrijving
De 2018 Pichon Baron is een blend van 78% Cabernet Sauvignon en 22% Merlot geplukt tussen 24 september en 10 oktober en gerijpt voor 18 maanden in Franse eiken vaten waarvan 80% nieuw is. De wijn heeft een uitermate zuiver zeer diep paarszwart kleur, het begint een beetje terughoudend, langzaam en loom uit het glas rollen met noties van frambozen, bosbessen, crème de cassis en wierook plus nuances van seringen, truffels, vochtige grond en garrigue met lavendelblaadjes en wilde salie. Vol, voluptueus en oh zo verleidelijk. In de mond onthult de wijn laag na laag hartige, aardse en zwarte fruitconserven, omlijst door heerlijk rijpe, fluweelzachte tannines en heerlijke frisheid, die erg lang en geparfumeerd eindigt. Na 2016 en 2017 weer zo'n mooie jaargang met louter hoge scores.
Robert Parker (97-99/100): "The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is made up of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The Merlot was harvested September 24-25, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested October 3-10. The wine is to be aged 18 months in barriques, 80% new and 20% one year old, and production represents 50% of the harvest this year. Very deep purple-black colored, it begins a little coy, rolling slowly and languidly out of the glass with notions of baked raspberries, blueberry coulis, crème de cassis and incense plus nuances of lilacs, truffles, damp soil and garrigue with wafts of lavender and wild sage. Full-bodied, voluptuous and oh-so-seductive, the palate reveals layer upon layer of savory, earthy and black fruit preserves, framed by wonderfully ripe, velvety tannins and lovely freshness, finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful."
