Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron, Pauillac 2014 Napa ripe fruitDark crimson. So fragrant delicate cassis, notes of graphite and a rocky dusty inviting layer, opening up to ripe black fruit. Already complex on the nose. Rich, thick tannin texture, quite chewy but not tough as the grain is very fine. Embryonic still and long. Jancis Robinson (17)
