Palate
Deep and classically Pauillac: blackberry and black cherry with spice, cocoa and lightly toasted notes. Full-bodied and generous, with rich but silky mature tannins and a long, increasingly refined finish.

Monster Notes
Pichon Baron is proper Pauillac — Second Growth, Cabernet-driven and built to age. 2011 doesn't have the hype of 2009 or 2010, which can actually be a good thing when you're buying. Now it's opening up nicely and you get that mature Bordeaux character without waiting another decade. Give it some air, put beef on the table and enjoy.
