Pichon Baron 1995 reveals a complex profile characteristic of its Pauillac origin. It features notes of dark fruit, graphite and integrated oak, indicative of its aging in approximately 70% new French barrels. The structure is firm, supported by pronounced tannins and a distinctive herbal character. Elements of leather and sous-bois emerge, underscoring its maturity. This vintage is crafted by Château Pichon Longueville Baron, a property known for its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, producing wines that reflect both elegance and depth.
91 Vinous
- The 1995 Pichon-Baron is a wine that tasted extremely well several years ago, but I wonder how well it is continuing to evolve. The bouquet feels a little smudged, scents of iodine and cassis merging with blackberry and pencil lead; it is a little meandering and missing a sense of focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity and good density, but it doesn’t possess the clarity and detail of more recent vintages. Solid, but lacks flair. Tasted at the Pichon-Baron vertical at the château.
90 Robert Parker
A stylish, elegant, more restrained style of Pichon Baron, with less obvious new oak than usual, this deep ruby/purple-colored wine offers a pure black currant-scented nose with subtle aromas of coffee and smoky toasty oak. In the mouth, the wine displays less weight and muscle than the 1996, but it offers suave, elegant, rich fruit presented in a medium to full-bodied, surprisingly lush style. Anticipated maturity. 2001-2016. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
