Vins Rouges
149 Château Pichon Baron, Pauillac (L)
“Aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and licorice introduce the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron, a full- bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that’s deep, dense and lively, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Integrated and serious, this hints at the lavishness inherent to the vintage, while remaining classic and controlled. This blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot was bottled in June.” 98 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 327877,364235 6 bottle limit $400
150 Pichon Comtesse Réserve, Pauillac
“Readers shouldn’t overlook the 2022 Resèrve de la Comtesse, a lovely wine that’s one of the most accomplished second wines of Bordeaux. Offering up aromas of sweet minty berries, burning embers, pencil shavings and violets, it’s medium to full-bodied, lavish and aromatic, with an almost exotic core of fruit, powdery tannins and a penetrating finish.” 93 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 272661 $125
