Aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, tobacco, and subtle cigar box unfold into a complex bouquet with hints of cassis leaf, spice, and graphite minerality. The palate is medium to full-bodied, layered, and tightly focused, driven by vibrant acidity and a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Firm yet polished tannins support a core of dark berry fruit, citrus lift, and savoury mineral tension, leading to a long, saline-tinged finish.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eWine Enthusiast | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWE 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 29, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmoky and rich with blackcurrant, firm tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering a powerful yet balanced structure with strong ageing potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 29, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2021 Pichon-Longueville Baron is showing very well in bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, sweet berries and violets mingled with subtle hints of orange zest and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with good depth at the core, bright acids and sweet tannins that assert themselves on the gently structured finish, its serious, slightly reserved profile reflects the unusually high (89%) percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 concluded its élevage in large wooden vats for a month and a half, saw a touch less racking than normal, and was only fined with a small amount of gelatin, not egg white, as has been the rule at this address for several years now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(148, 3, 3); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 12, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack currant, violet, lemon blossom and black berry aromas.

Succulent and juicy - the high acidity hits straight away. Lean and direct, but smooth, tannins have a faint graphite grip. Tangy alomst grapefruit on the palate with red berries and freshness throughout leading up to a long-lasting flavour at the end which is added to by a salty minerality. A subtle estate magic is on show. Still young and tight, this will need a few years before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39981665288256,"sku":"RDFR20212767","price":279.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/Chateau-Pichon-Longueville-Baron-Pauillac_bba8f833-30cc-4715-a3b7-92be927b8386.jpg?v=1707205232","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/chateau-pichon-longueville-baron-pauillac-2021-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
