New denomination of the second wine of Pichon-Baron from the 2012 vintage, undoubtedly at the level of the 5th growths of Pauillac.
The 2016 is like the great wine: pure and vigorous, distinguished and powerful, promised to be beautiful and long to keep.
The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - December 2018): 91/100 "The 2016 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is quite powerful and dense. Aging, and specifically, the barrel regime of 18 months in oak (60% new) has left the 2016 with a heavy toast/torrefaction quality that at present overpowers the dark fruit and Cabernet aromatics the wine showed from barrel."
