Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Nov 93
Coffee, cedar, spice and blackcurrant aromas. Fresh, nicely delineated fruit of good richness and depth. Lingering, moderately tannic finish. Quite refined alongside the more exotic '89, but this wine lacks the fat and concentration of the best '90s.

Pauillac wines are known for their power, structure, and longevity, featuring intense blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Firm yet refined tannins support long-term ageing.

Other notable estates include Château Pichon Longueville Baron and Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
