1994 Pichon Longueville Baron, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

1994 Pichon Longueville Baron: blackcurrant nose. Rather diluted, the mouth of 1994 Pichon Longueville Baron is dominated by wood and green tannins. One of the less appealing Pichon Baron I had for ages. I doubt that it can improve much. 80/100 

2002 Pichon Longueville Baron, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France

2002 Pichon Longueville Baron: changing and delicate flavours of cigar box, blackberry and blackcurrant. 2002 Pichon Longueville Baron has a great density with a magnificiently extracted fruit. The texture of 2002 Pichon Longueville Baron holds a perfect grip throughout the mouth. The tannins are beautifully smooth, perfectly leveled to the fruit's outstanding quality. Long balanced and suave finale. One can only love the Pichon Longueville Baron this year! Very different in style but probably as good as 2002 Pichon Comtesse de Lalande. 91/100
