Critics Ratings
"The 2014 Pichon Baron has a lovely bouquet with blackberry, pencil shavings and touches of warm gravel, very well defined and focused, classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh and vibrant, with a dash of white pepper and allspice leading to that slightly flinty finish. Maybe it becomes a little creamier than expected, but it's still just a lovely Pauillac drinking perfectly now and will continue to age for many years. N.B. The bottle poured blind at the Southwold tasting exhibited a metallic element on the finish, and I marked it down. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Feb 2024)
"Tasted blind. Dark core. Refined, restrained aroma of black fruit. Just a touch charry. Firm, thick, chewy tannins. Wholesome and balanced rather than elegant at the moment. Likely to become more elegant with time." - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5++/20 (Feb 2024)
