Couleur sombre, noire et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, au fruité mûr sur des nuances de fruits noirs. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, très velouté au milieu, riche et même puissant entre le milieu et la finale (et c’est là que ce cru fait toute la différence), le vin s’envole en fin de bouche, gras, sur une texture très distinguée avec une réelle sensation de classe. C’est superbe !

This is extremely structured, but with a level of polish and refinement that highlights the excellence of the terroir. Very long and expansive on the palate, showing class and beauty. Powerful.

The brilliant 2020 Pichon-Longueville Baron offers up inviting aromas of sweet berries and cassis mingled with pipe tobacco, loamy soil, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, its velvety attack segues into a concentrated mid-palate that's framed by rich, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, vibrant finish. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, it's a true classic that's a touch less demonstrative out of the gates than the sensual 2019, but which in the fullness of time will prove every bit as good.

Gentle and delicately aromatic but rich too, full of coffee, mocha, dark chocolate, caramel and medicinal herbs - mint and aniseed with a combination of red, blue and black berry fruits. Lovely density and weight on the palate, really very tannic but wide with an aerated effect so it doesn't feel at all heavy with a bright juiciness and extremely long length. The tannins make the first impression with a velvet texture and chalky minerality but it’s clean and the fruit has a crystalline purity that gives a sleek and direct overall impression. Generous, elegant and refined yet still not showing its best.

Les 76% de cabernet-sauvignon marquent la trame du vin, avec une grande classe et une jolie persistance. D'une belle droiture, avec un milieu de bouche suave, il déploie une finale sur des notes de fruits très frais et une touche iodée.

Bouquet mit frischgepflückten schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Lakritze und dunkles Edelholz. Im zweiten Ansatz heller Tabak, tasmanischer Bergpfeffer, erkalteter Waldfrüchtetee und geschnittene Küchenkräuter. Am Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, perfekt ausgereiftem Tanningerüst, betörender Extraktfülle, vibrierender Rasse und durchtrainiertem gestähltem Körper. Im langen Finale Wildkirsche, schwarze Oliven und Estragon, endet mit zarter Adstingenz. Noch besser als in den Vorjahren.

This has a very large-scaled yet properly proportioned core of cassis, plum and blackberry fruit flavors that are remarkably pure and focused. Buried deep within is a sleek, vibrant iron spine that drives the finish as the fruit keeps pace. Extra savory, tobacco and cedar nuances fill out all the remaining available space. A towering wine, with a buttoned-up feel. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2045.
