critic reviews

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Deep dark fruits, edge of brett, beautiful floral notes, fresh acidities that keep things powering along, enticing tobacco and cigar box aromatics, this is enjoyable, with appellation signature and still delivering please. 80% new oak.

90/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 1999 Pichon-Baron now has better precision and focus than the 1998. The nose of blackberry, graphite and smoke is not intense but gains vigor with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a little brine on the entry, and quite saline, showing moderate depth. It just feels a bit foursquare toward the finish. It will not improve further, so drink over the next five or six years.

89/100Robert Parker,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The dark ruby/purple-colored Pichon Longueville Baron reveals aromas of charcoal, black currants, and sweet toasty oak. This low acid, medium-bodied, charming, lush 1999 possesses good stuffing, ripe tannin, and a moderately long finish. Enjoy it now as well as over the next 10-12 years.
