2004 Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron Magnum 1.5L

94 Points - Yohan Castaing, Decanter

“Pichon Baron 2004 impresses by its youthful energy and a floral bouquet brimming with black fruit including cherry. Aeration reveals a delightful minty freshness. A succulent, juicy attack leads the way to a full-bodied and velvety structure of elegant tannins. Here is a wine suffused with that now signature Pichon combination of energy, tension, and mineral sensations. Superb wine.”

“A vintage that is tasting great right now, still muscular and a little bit foursquare but with concentrated cassis and blackberry fruits, waves of fresh mint leaf and eucalyptus on the finish. This is juicy and enjoyable. 80% new oak. Jean-Rene Matignon technical director, Eric Boissenot consultant.”

“A big, juicy and blackcurranty nose, with lovely coffeeish depth, this seems very open and approachable, classic components without, perhaps, as much sense of expectation/anticipation as the younger wines. A lightly open bloodiness too. On the palate has good fruit and a firm edge of coffee and liquorice, very nice fruit and a juicy freshness. A very nice wine, without the concentration and structure of the 2005 for example.”
