2010 Pichon Longueville Baron utilized only 45% of the harvest to make a great 2010 Pichon Baron. The wine reached 13.75% alcohol, the same level as in 2009. From an assemblage of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, this deep, dark, purple colored wine opens with cassis liqueur, oak, truffle, tobacco and walnuts.

The best since 2005, the wine will be aged in 80% new oak. 96-97 Pts
