Wine Enthusiast, April 2013

(93–95 points) Barrel sample. Comprised of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a densely ripe wine, full of black fruits, smoky wood and generous tannins. Given its structure, the wine will obviously age well, even if it is...

A pretty core of ripe-berry, currant and mineral character to this red with a full body, silky tannins and a fresh finish to add. Creamy texture. Better in 2017.

janeanson.com, March 2022

Real confirmation that these top Pauillacs take their first steps towards being ready to drink at the 10 year window in these 'medium' vintages - compared to 15 in the bigger vintages. This is just stretching its limbs...

jebdunnuck.com, January 2018

A silky, pure, even sexy, Pauillac that excels in the vintage, the 2012 from Pichon Longueville Baron sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with surprisingly ripe notes of black currants, toasted bread, saddle leather and...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, May 2013

(NM92-94 points) Tasted en primeur at the chateau. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot picked between 1st and 17th October, the old vines picked form 8th October. It has a strict, quite conservative bouquet...

Vinous, September 2022

The 2012 Pichon Baron has a fragrant bouquet with well-defined black fruit, cedar and subtle sous-bois aromas, unfolding with a sense of confidence with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine...

Connoisseur's Guide, June 2015

Taking its accustomed place among the shining stars of its vintage regardless of commune or which side of Bordeaux a wine might claim as home, this deeply drawn effort shows more than enough concentration and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2015

As for the big sibling, the 2012 Pichon Baron (80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) probably has the most saturated purple color of the Pauillacs. Its structure is apparent, and the wine offers a wealth of blackcurrant...

Decanter, November 2017

As a vintage, 2012 was similar to 2014, but with a notch less intensity and ripeness. The nose is muted, with blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. It's oaky but stylish, with some torrefied notes. Rich and full-bodied, the...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, July 2016

Full bodied, tannic and tight, this is far too young to drink today. I like the wines cassis character, but it seems like it's always going to a crisp, tannic, classic personality. Read more...

Wine Spectator, March 2015

This has a lively spine of briar that pumps through the core of cassis and plum fruit, while anise and sweet tobacco notes fill in on the finish. Shows a twinge of plum skin at the end, but delivers more than enough flesh...
