2018 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron, Pauillac Assyrtiko raspberry and black currant100 Points Wine Enthusiast: This great estate in southern Pauillac, facing the Latour vineyard, is at the top of its game. In this release, the tannins are as impressive and dense as the black fruits. Together they form a harmonious ensemble, richly structured, concentrated from the many old vines in the blend, and very ageworthy. Drink from 2027. Cellar Selection 99 Points Decanter: Generous aromatics of dark berry fruit, caramel, and spice are clear
