Full-bodied, fleshy and even a touch flamboyant, it has sweet tannins and a monster texture that coats the palate. Tasting like a hypothetical mix of the 20, its deep purple color is followed by a powerful yet sensationally pure bouquet of crème de cassis, blackberries, lead pencil shavings, and graphite, and is just about as quintessentially Pauillac as it gets. Jeb Dunnuck - “The 2016 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is beauty and is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that was brought up in 80% new French oak. So fresh and vivacious, this is the greatest Pichon Baron since 1989 and has a long future. Fine and plush tannins stretch the palate in every direction. The palate has incredible depth, drive and detail. Espresso and cedar, as well as a slate-like, stony mineral edge add complexity. James Suckling - “The concentration and largesse of the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent from the get-go with incredibly alluring, ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry, dark-cherry, mulberry and plum zone. The Château Pichon Baron 2016 blends 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. The wine is matured in barrels for 18 months, with a proportion of 80% new barrels and 20% barrels of one previous wine. The vineyard, with a total area of 73 hectares, is planted on Quaternary gravel, which is made up of pebbles and sand.
