Description

One of the top wines from a must-have vintage. 12 bottles in OWC.

98 points Parker: "Revealing incredible quality and performing better than it did from barrel, the 2009 appears to be the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron since the 1990 and 1989. An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense, blackberries, blueberries and hints of coffee and chocolate. Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully under the management of Christian Seeley. It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak between 2018 and 2045."

Farr Vintners 19/20: Latour-like in style, Pichon Baron has been a star performer in all our recent blind vintage tastings. The Grand Vin is now produced only from the vineyards near Latour. An opaque colour. A huge, soaring nose of dense black fruit. On the palate it is absolutely massive with layer upon layer of cassis fruit spiced with hints of vanilla, spice and cigar box. The massive fruit is more than matched by the huge tannins. The balance is perfect. This is certainly going to take time to mature but when it does the wine will be a modern day equivalent of the awesome 1990 that was made here. An absolute classic that rivals the very top names in 2009. Brilliant.

BBR 18/20: The 2009 Pichon-Baron just exudes gorgeous ripe, damson and mulberry fruit which blends seamlessly with the fantastic silky, supple, fine-grained tannins. The wonderful thing about this wine is its sense of coolness, incredible given that the blend comprises 33% Merlot which was often very hot in 2009 (the remainder being 67% Cabernet Sauvignon). Christian Seely attributes this to the wonderful terroir of the best Merlot plots around the château, the ones right next to Ch. Latour. This is elegance personified; a truly great wine.

Jancis Robinson 18/20: One of the most concentrated vintages ever – from fruit not extraction. Very very dark crimson. Very mineral and grown up. Lovely lift and great, polished tannins. Very fresh and fine tannins with density and lift on the finish. Very sophisticated. Lots of mass. Remjnds me a little of their 1990, though the yields were very much lower in 2009. Very glossy and confident. Very sophisticated.

Decanter 18.5/20: lack red, big, smoky rich and exotic nose, lots of depth, robust vineyard structure and powerful yet harmonious length, all vigourous potential.

Transfer of ownership on receipt of payment or set up a storage account. Approx £11 (incl VAT) per case bond storage fee per year.
