Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2.Wein von Château Pichon Baron 2022

"The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the more serious of the estate's two second wines, with Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Merlot dominating the blend. Revealing aromas of dark berries, cherries, spices and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with powdery tannins and a more structured profile than Les Tourelles."
90-92/100 Punkte

"Refined and pretty aromas and flavors of currants and blackberries on both the nose and palate. Medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. 50% merlot, 46% cabernet sauvignon and 4% petit verdot."
92-93/100 Punkte

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Nuan- cen von Gewürznelken und Cassis, feine dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, Mandarinenzesten. Gute Komplexität, reife Kirschen, feiner Säurebogen, integrierte Tannine, miner- alisch, extraktsüßer Abgang, zeigt Länge, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter."
94/100 Punkte

"The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron represents 22% of the production and is matured in 40% new oak. It has a very focused bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed violet and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sculpted tannins, very tensile, intense yet weightless toward the long graphite-infused finish. This is just superb."
