CHATEAU PICHON LONGUEVILLE, BARON 2005 |

Château Pichon Longueville, Baron 2005 Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classéu. 6bn, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 slightly sunken corkPurple damson colour. Big Pauillac style - comparisons with Pontet Canet. The sheer health of the vintage bursts out of the glass. Pronounced acidity and big shoulders. Tight-knit at four years old. Cassis finish. A big, sturdy wine that needs decades to hone down.
