Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Pauillac 1997 750ml










Now entering the peak of its evolution, this 1993 Pichon Baron offers a rare opportunity to experience the subtlety and grace of a fully mature Bordeaux. Soft tannins and notes of cedar, spice box, and dark berries create a refined, classic profile. Hints of sweet oak and earthy complexity add layers to the experience, making this a thoughtful, contemplative wine. Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts of aged Bordeaux, or anyone seeking a ready-to-enjoy vintage with history and soul. This is not about power—it’s about finesse, tradition, and a window into the character of Pauillac in the early 1990s.

Complex, evolved, mature, cedar, spice box, and black currant aromas emerge from this ruby/garnet-colored offering. Soft, with sweet tannin, spicy oak, and ripe fruit, but no significant depth, this is an open-knit, attractive Pauillac to enjoy now and over the next 7-8 years.

Mid lively rich red. Rather weak nose and generally just a bit too soft and moue in the middle. The acidity and the tannins are beginning to dominate the fruit in the middle. The sweetness is just a little too oaky rather than fruity perhaps. Not the best buy but by no means a disgrace.
