Pichon Longueville Baron - 2010 (750ml) Oregon At first blush

At first blush

This wine should drink well for 25-30 years and is somewhat of a sleeper for a 2012 first-growth Médoc

brown sugar and macerated sultanas

and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum

Pichon Longueville Baron - 2010 (750ml) Oregon At first blushDeep garnet in color, the 2010 Pichon Longueville Baron delivers expressive scents of baked black cherries, plum preserves and crme de cassis with hints of cedar chest and bouquet garni. Medium to full bodied, the palate has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and lovely freshness with bags of energetic black fruits and a long, wonderfully pure finish. 96 points The Wine Advocate
