Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron 1999

The 1999 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron comes from the renowned Pauillac appellation in Bordeaux and is one of the region's outstanding wines. The 1999 vintage in Bordeaux was somewhat challenging overall, but this wine nevertheless demonstrates the strength and quality of the terroir.
The wine is a deep ruby red in color with slight signs of ripeness at the edges. The nose is intense and complex, with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by notes of tobacco, cedarwood, and a subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm but well-integrated tannins. The fruit is still present, but it slowly transitions into tertiary aromas such as leather, undergrowth, and a subtle minerality. The balance between acidity and tannin gives the wine an elegant freshness and longevity. The finish is long, offering a harmonious combination of fruit and spicy notes.
This vintage is now at its optimal drinking stage, but also shows signs of aging potential for several more years. The Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 1999 is a classic Bordeaux that pairs perfectly with mature cheeses, lamb dishes, or game.
