Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru 2001

95
/100

Lobenberg: Ganz dicht und voll im Mund, nicht so spröde und maskulin wie so oft. Sehr floral. Schönes Fett, Beerenfrucht und Lakritze wie schon beim Vorgängerjahrgang, dazu große Harmonie, schöne Länge, ungefähr auf gleichem Niveau wie Lynch Bages.

Decanter über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

-- Decanter: Enticing nose with a mix of fresh fruits, spices, and graphite as well as a captivating floral component adding interest. Impressive depth on a palate suffused with even more notes of licorice, graphite, and spices than the 2000, but also a more delicate yet persistent mouthfeel thanks to a finer-grained, satin-like tannic framework. A classy, even great wine that will easily stay the distance for at least another 10 to 20 years. Bravo.

Jane Anson über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

-- Jane Anson: Unusually this feels even more muscular than the 2000, with dark fruits, fresh acidities and a ton of appellation signature. Powerful tannins that form walls around the fruit even at 20 years old, with nuanced black pepper spice, cocoa bean, woodsmoke, black cherry and blackberry fruit as it opens. 70% new oak. This was the first year with Christian Seely as director, and the selection process for the first wine became more severe, with lower yields and a greater focus on fruit from the historic plot of vines directly opposite Château Latour. Jean-René Matignon remained as technical director.

Parker über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

-- Parker: Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 10-Year On horizontal. This has a relatively light but feminine bouquet, earthy notes at first, later tightly coiled blackberry and cedar, briary and pencil box. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent entry that marries beautifully with the fine tannins and depth of flavour. This is more primal than its peers, but wonderful delineation and purity with a caressing, silky smooth finish. Utterly seductive: this Pichon Baron is finally coming into its own.

Wine Spectator über: Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru

-- Wine Spectator: This nicely rendered red unfurls nicely, offering notes of cassis, plum and black cherry puree gilded with violet and lilac hints. A long, sleek iron note stays embedded throughout, while late accents of black tea and warm earth help fill out the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2040. 8,504 cases made.
