An undeniable star of the vintage, Pichon-Baron?s 2004 boasts an inky/ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a big, sweet nose of melted licorice, chocolate, black currant jam, truffles, and charcoal embers. Soft tannin, full body, and abundant opulence and flesh are atypical for the vintage character, but this wine is loaded. Pure, ripe, and evolved, it should be at its finest between 2009-2022.

Dunkles Granat, satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Würziges, dichtes Bouquet, Tabak, Pflaumen, Schwarztee und Sommertrüffel. Im Gaumen erstaunlich weich und dadurch recht füllig, wiederum viel Pflaumentöne, Cassis, zeigt Charme und wird früh, viel Spass machen und kann eventuell noch einen Punkt zulegen. trinken (2009 - 2020)

Lots of currant, licorice and light tar aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, yet refined and silky on the palate, with a lightly chewy finish. Needs time. Best after 2010. 20,000 cases made. ?JS
