Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron 2003

2eme Cru Classe 1855

This is certainly one of the best 2003 Pauillacs and shone out at Farr’s 2003 dinner. A deep garnet colour. The palate has a lovely, ravishing nose with succulent blackberry, iodine and Doris plum allwith great delineation. The palate is full-bodied, sinewy and tannic with notes of blackberry ,cedar and a touch of graphite. Still relatively backward and with even greater persistency than the Mouton ’03.
