Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru 2010

98–100
/100

Lobenberg: Ekstremt charmerende rød og gul frugtagtig næse. Uendeligt duftende, sød. Vilde jordbær, vilde hindbær, brombær, mango, fin mælkechokolade, delikat, hurtig. En af de smukkeste næser. En næse fuld af charme og race. Munden er ekstremt fin, helt usædvanlig for Pichon Baron. Rød frugt i smørblød form, jordbær, hindbær, blomme, så kommer cassis og ribs, også her mælkechokolade, lidt Mon Chéri. Der er masser af tannin, men den er blød som smør. Perfekt balance. En virkelig stor Pichon Baron med alle sine elementer. Tæt på perfektion. 98-100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Borderline perfection in a bottle, the 2010 Pichon-Longueville Baron (79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot) boasts a saturated purple color as well as truly extraordinary aromatics of crème de cassis, licorice, crushed rock-like minerality, graphite, and spring flowers. Possessing full-bodied richness, a huge, unctuous mid-palate, and building tannin, it shows the purity, grandeur, and precision that makes this vintage so remarkable. Hide bottles for another 4-5 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy bottles over the following 2-3 decades.

Decanter om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Incredible depth apparent from the first whiff as well as powerful aromatics combining graphite, black fruit and spices. The palate is concentrated but brimming with energy, yet what really stands out is its confounding freshness as well as the finesse and precise contours of the tannic framework. An already profound wine that will reach new heights over the next two decades. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Administrator Christian Seeley thinks the 2010 is the greatest Pichon Longueville Baron he has ever made, equaling some of the estate’s colossal wines from vintages such as 1989 and 1990. It was certainly showing well when I stopped by the chateau in January. Opaque purple, with loads of charcoal, licorice, incense and some exotic Asian spices along with abundant cassis liqueur, blackberry and hints of roasted coffee and spring flowers, it is full-bodied and opulent, with relatively high tannins, but they have sweetened up considerably and seem less aggressive than they did from barrel. The oak is clearly pushed to the background by the wine’s wealth of fruit, glycerin and full-bodied texture. This sensational Pichon Longueville Baron needs 5-6 years of cellaring, and should keep 30+ years. 97+/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

Tasted at the Union de Grand Cru in London and later at the chateau. A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot representing 50% of the total production, matured in 80% new oak for 18 months, the Pichon Baron has a glorious bouquet with blackberry, briary and wild hedgerow. The aromatics are bestowed ethereal purity and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied with abundant, mineral-laden black fruit tinged with espresso. This is very harmonious, a mouth-filling bravura of a Pauillac (perhaps the equivalent of Cos d’Estournel?) There is a pleasing sense of linearity and austerity on the graphite-tinged finish, plus enormous length that will leave you convinced that this is a benchmark Pichon Baron that sits comfortably alongside the 2009. Comparing them both side by side, I would put them on equal par although instinct tells me to bet on ’10 over the long-term. Tasted November 2012. 97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

This is mouthfilling, with terrifically dense yet graceful layers of roasted coffee, warm fig sauce, currant preserves and Kenya AA coffee. The powerful finish blends iron-clad tannins and a hint of loam. Cuts a broad swath, but remains pure. Destined for a long life. 95-98/100
