Ch Pichon Baron, Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2021 Pauillac
16.5
45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot. Cask sample.
Second vintage with the Petit Verdot in the blend, the pepper and spice notes evident. Reasonably dense and restrained with a touch of sweetness on attack followed by a savoury tone. Tannins present but honed. Compact, structured and dry on the finish. Some persistence. (JL)
