James Suckling 96-97A very structured and racy PB with blackcurrant, stone and black cherry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body with racy and fine tannins that are precise and focused. Elegance with structure. 81% cabernet sauvignon and 19% merlot.
Glengarry Review
81%Cabernet, 19% Merlot. The purity of the Cabernet is the first thing that strikes you, the cassis just seems to ooze from the glass. There is a delightful depth to the fruit, with a beautiful classic edge to it. A brilliant, refined version of Pichon Baron. Not a blockbuster, rather a very opulent, poised brilliant wine. Excellent this year, a wine to look out for.
The Wine Advocate 95-97
An unusually gourmand, sensual wine from this estate, the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts with aromas of crème de cassis, sweet dark berries, licorice, lilac and pencil shavings. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with excellent concentration and a rather rich, supple profile. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, it's the result of sub-block by sub-block picking and cooler than usual fermentation temperatures.
