Description
Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Pichon Baron has more red than black fruit on the nose, quite showy with hints of crème de cassis and then later it calms down to reveal classic pencil lead aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth. This is quite assertive and grippy, although later vintages have evinced more precision and mineralité on the finish. Still, this is a fine if rather burly Pichon Baron. Tasted January 2016. Neal Martin

Tasting note
2006年的男爵長城酒莊展現了波亞克的宏偉。這款酒擁有深石榴紅色澤,散發成熟的黑莓和活潑的黑醋栗香氣,並與巧克力和肉質的香氣交織在一起,形成複雜而豐富的香鼻。口感上,肉質飽滿,單寧結構良好且明顯,餘韻帶有礦物質和鹹味,為口感帶來清新的活力。建議至少醒酒兩小時,以充分體驗其優雅和強度。這是一款承諾隨著時間演變的美酒,非常適合那些欣賞波爾多深度和傳統的酒友。
The 2006 Chateau Pichon-Longueville au Baron de Pichon-Longueville is a testament to the grandeur of Pauillac. This wine, with its deep garnet hue, exudes aromas of ripe dark berries and lively cassis, interwoven with chocolatey and meaty notes, creating a complex and opulent nose. The palate reveals a fleshy attack with structured, noticeable tannins, and a mineral, salty finish that brings a refreshing liveliness. Decanting for at least two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its elegance and intensity. A wine that promises to evolve beautifully, it is a superb choice for those who appreciate the depth and tradition of Bordeaux.
