    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Les Griffons de Pichon Baron, Pauillac, 2022

    From plots nearer the river with more gravel (than the Tourelles). More intense, darker and more mineral. Tightly wound with red fruits and more polished tannins. Quite sleek and glossy, impressive with high acidity level interwoven with lots of glycerol and cherry pit fruits.

    ABV:
    13%
    87-89/100
    Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent
    A blend of 50% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a little closed to start, with subtle notions of juicy black and red plums, warm cassis, and forest floor plus a touch of clove oil. The medium-bodied palate has a lively line lifting the earth-laced black fruit layers, finishing with a touch of chewiness.

    The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron represents 22% of the production and is matured in 40% new oak. It has a very focused bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed violet and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sculpted tannins, very tensile, intense yet weightless toward the long graphite-infused finish. This is just superb.
