CHÂTEAU PICHON-LONGUEVILLE BARON 1990 (1)
Pauillac. 2ième Cru Classé
marked label. wrinkled capsule.
The palate is perfectly balanced, perhaps not as structured as it once showed since the tannins have mellowed, but what you get is a Pauillac relishing its secondary phase, which is almost Burgundy-like in terms of mouthfeel. Suffused with tension, it gains weight in the mouth toward the slightly tart finish. It is a Pichon Baron that only knows how to give sophisticated drinking pleasure. I once wrote that Pichon Baron is better than many 1990 First Growth, and that is a statement I have no reason to change. Tasted April 2017. Drink: 2017-2035 WA 98
