Tasted April 2022. This vintage is the smallest there has ever been, but the wine is fantastic, full of tension and pure Cabernet character, with more Cabernet Sauvignon than ever in the blend. There's purity and a density to the wine, without the fruit character being overly ripe. There's great freshness here with minty notes on the mid-palate and a cranberry crunch on the finish.

The 2021 Pichon-Longueville Baron is showing very well in bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, sweet berries and violets mingled with subtle hints of orange zest and cigar wrapper. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with good depth at the core, bright acids and sweet tannins that assert themselves on the gently structured finish, its serious, slightly reserved profile reflects the unusually high (89%) percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 concluded its élevage in large wooden vats for a month and a half, saw a touch less racking than normal, and was only fined with a small amount of gelatin, not egg white, as has been the rule at this address for several years now.
