Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2eme Cru 2000

Lobenberg: Sehr dicht und super konzentriert, schwarze Früchte und Cassis, sattes, rundes Tannin, gute Säure, langer Abgang. 94-95 -- RP: A spectacular effort, this is a profound Pichon Baron and clearly my favorite vintage of this wine since the 1989 and 1990. An inky purple color offers up notes of barbecue spices intermixed with new saddle leather, creme de cassis, melted licorice, creosote, and a hint of vanilla. The wine is full-bodied, tremendously concentrated, with sweet tannin and a seamless finish that goes on for close to one minute. This wine has great purity, tremendous texture, and fabulous upside potential. This is a prodigious 2000!
