Aging, and specifically, the barrel regime of 18 months in oak (60% new) has left the 2016 with a heavy toast/torrefaction quality that at present overpowers the dark fruit and Cabernet aromatics the wine showed from barrel.

Drinking Window 2027 - 2050.Д©1 Points Vinous - The 2016 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is quite powerful and dense. 18 months in 60% new oak reinforces the silky tannins. This is gorgeous, with a sense of restraint behind the deep, plump fruit. Beautiful, rich dark purple in color from a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot, a more classic interpretation of a MГ©doc second wine than Les Tourelles. 7,667 cases made.Д©1 Points Decanter - This is closer to the signature of the grand vin than that of the Tourelles de Longueville as it comes from soil with a higher gravel content. There's a light tug of earth through the gently toasty finish, but this is pretty much all fruit and is ready to go. ItвЂ™s also deeply colored, offers classic Pauillac aromatics, and possesses a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, backward vibe thatвЂ™s going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age.Д©1 Points Wine Spectator - This is fleshy and caressing in feel, letting warm plum sauce and cassis notes roll along, lined with pretty violet and anise accents. The 2016 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon-based and sees 60% new French oak. Try from 2022.Д©3 Points Jeb Dunnuck - There are two second wines from this estate. The palate is fresh and gently muscular tannins serve this wine well. This is still well worth looking at ifВ you want one of the top wines of the vintage without the first-growth price tag.ДЄs ever you can keep up to date withВ everything #Bdx16 on our Recent Releases page.93 Points James Suckling - Attractive, modern style with assorted, ripe summer berries, layered with upbeat, toasty oak. The price is up on the 2015 but volumes were down around 30%В so scarcity is certainly a factor here вЂ“ as is the outstanding quality. Galloni suggested it is вЂ one of the best recent Pichon-Barons I can remember tasting.вЂ™ Neal Martin scored it 96-98/100 and called the 2016 вЂ aВ majestic Pichon-BaronвЂ that вЂ may well to surpass both the 2009 or 2010.вЂ™ James Molesworth of The Wine Spectator described it as a вЂ thumper of a PauillacвЂ and rated it 96-99/100. The Cabernet (85% of the blend in this vintage) is of the very highest quality.Д¬hristian Seely, mastermind of this great estate, said he вЂ cannot think of a Pichon IвЂ™ve preferred en primeur.вЂ™ HeвЂ™s not the only one that thinks this is one of his best efforts to date.

When we tasted at the ChГўteau in April we discovered something with the level of freshness, purity and richness thatВ youвЂ™d normally associate with a first-growth. It is very hard to exaggerate just how good this wine is. PICHON BARON has been released at ВЈ1,350 per 12В bottles IB.
