Decanter, December 2021

Remarkably fresh and delicate nose yet full of spicy and graphite notes for this still youthful wine of impressive depth. Merlot seems to dominate at this stage, as evidenced by a juicy, full-bodied, and suave mouthfeel...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, February 2012

Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. "Oh baby baby" as Salt `n Pepa declared back in the day: Pichon Baron is a real star of this vintage. It is a little introverted at first tightly-wound dark berries tar and...

One of the richer, sexier wines in the vintage, the 2008 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers a rock star perfume of red and black currants, crushed violets, graphite, and charcoal, with a hint of truffle working its way in...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, September 2018

A perfect example of classic Pauillac. The wine combines regal and stern attributes. There is power, waves of ripe, dark, juicy, deep fruits, and a wealth of tannins, but much of its character is still held in check. It's...

Grilled caramel and liqourice on the nose, plump blackberry and blackcurrant fruits, sinewy tannins with touches of pencil lead and black chocolate. This is signature Pauillac but an enticing version that welcomes you in...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2011

Powerful rich firm and solid. The tannins are rounded and there is a noticeable amount of wood here although the wine has preserved its fresh fruit at the same time. Very linear the finish showing ripe plums and sweet...

View From The Cellar, August 2011

(93+) Currently, the 2008 Pichon-Baron is showing even better than the 2009, as the oak has already fully integrated into the body of the wine and the balance here is now impeccable. The bouquet is deep, complex and...

Wine Spectator, April 2011

This is solidly packed for the vintage with dark currant fig and graphite notes framed by bittersweet cocoa espresso and iron. Still a touch chunky on the finish but the structure is fine-grained and this should settle in...
