Les Griffons de Pichon Baron Pauillac 2nd label of Pichon Baron 2018 750ml

Winemaker Description A 2nd Classified Growth of 1855 belonging to the elite group of Bordeaux Grands Crus, Château Pichon Baron is one of the greatest estates of the Pauillac appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Expert Ratings  Jeb Dunnuck writes: The 2018 Les Griffons De Pichon Baron is normally a more Cabernet Sauvignon dominated cuvée, but Merlot excelled in 2018 and the blend is closer to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a much more focused, tight, backward wine compared to the Les Tourelles and has a terrific nose of spiced blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and lead pencil. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied wine with ripe yet firm tannins, impressive overall balance, and outstanding length. It's certainly a more classic, focused Pauillac and will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink nicely for a decade. - Jeb Dunnuck 93+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown writes: The 2018 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48%
