Description
With an intense, complex nose and dense bramble and spice notes on the palate, the 71% Cabernet, 29% Merlot blend is concentrated with dark fruit gravitas and a long, mineral finish. The richness of the fruit is very evident here and brings to mind the 2001 but the crisp acidity is a reflection of the unique character of 2008. Pichon-Baron may be classed as a 2eme Cru Classe but in 2008 they have produced a wine of First Growth quality. 95 points Wine Advocate The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Cabernet Sauvignon 71%, Merlot 29% Country – France Region – Bordeaux Vintage – 2008 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13%
