CHÂTEAU PICHON BARON

Pauillac 2e crus classé 2004

Deep ruby with some blackish notes. A bit of evolution at the rim. Marine notes on the nose – oyster shells? Clearly still evolving (more youthful than the Pavillon Rouge 2004 served alongside it) with good concentration and the tannins just about to melt into the background. Lightly dusty on the slightly dry end.  Pretty smart and classic Pauillac. Needs food.
