Parker about Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron 2000
The 2000 Château Pichon Baron is just getting better and better and better. Perhaps the magnum format played its part, but nevertheless...just...wow. This is a millennial Left Bench with the keys to the top drawer. It has an incredibly precise, mineral-driven bouquet with intense black fruit infused with cedar and graphite scents. It just reeks of Pauillac in an almost uncompromising, compelling yet manner. The palate is structured, stylish and effortless, extraordinarily pure and unerringly youthful. This is a Pichon Baron saying, "You ain't seen nothing yet." You could broach this now if you wanted, but the clever people will wisely bunker this for another decade and gloat from 2025 onward.

Suckling over Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron 2000
A rich and spicy wine with lots of walnuts, dried berries and plum. Full and very savory. So much tobacco and sous bois. Roasted fruit too. Classic 2000.
