Château Pichon Baron 2017 – Pauillac Cru Classé

The nose is elegant, racy, complex and offers a fine freshness, a small concentration, finesses as well as a very fine richness (in the background). It reveals notes of cassis, wild berries and violet/lily associated with small touches of small wild fruits, strawberry as well as a discreet touches of graphite, gray pepper, flowers, wild strawberry as well as discreet touches of spices. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, elegant and offers suavity, a very beautiful finesse of the grain as well as delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe cassis, crushed blackberry, crushed wild strawberry and crushed redcurrant associated with fine touches of racy minerality, sweet spices/toasted as well as discreet touches of flowers and very discreet/imperceptible hints of vanilla. Tannins are fine and elegant. Good length and persistence.
