Pichon Baron 2025 ππ
"The complex aromatic profile expresses flowers, black currants, licorice, black cherries, cocoa, espresso, cigar wrappers, and a touch of mint. The palate delivers a beautiful combination of vitality, sweetness, energy, and purity in the fruits. The long, vibrant finish is packed with layers of fruits. Yet, even with all the concentration, there is an elegance, and regal charm meshed with power. The endnotes continue expanding, and building long after the wine has left the glass. This modern classic will be great with just 3-5 years of bottle age. It also has the potential to age and evolve for 3 - 4 decades." - Jeff Leve 97-99 points
Griffons de Pichon Baron 2025 ππ
"Aromatically, the wine pops with black cherries, licorice, espresso, dark chocolate, flowers, and spice is what you initially find. Supple, elegant, fresh, and creamy, the fruits are ripe, lively, clean and sweet, with a touch of spicy, chocolate. The finish is all about the energy and purity in the berries." - Jeff Leve 93-95 points
Suduiraut 2025 ππ
"The intense aromatic profile is created from honeyed apricots, pineapples, candied citrus, roasted nuts and saffron. On the palate, the interplay between sweet, spicy and bitter is perfectly framed by the wealth of ripe, very ripe, and overripe pineapples, apricots, vanilla, saffron, oranges, and mango that coat every part of your palate with flavor. The finish starts off with peppery spice before building to its crescendo of sweet, honeyed fruits. While this promises to be fabulous in its youth, the wine can age for decades." - Jeff Leve 97-99 points
