Tasting note

來自名列二級名莊的 2009 年份，這支酒有著深沉的黑果輪廓與層層香料感。開瓶先是黑莓、李子和黑加侖的濃郁果香，接著浮現雪茄盒、礦物與微苦巧克力的細緻變化。口感方面單寧結構明顯但不粗糙，帶有圓潤果肉感與絲滑的橡木乳化，酸度支撐良好讓酒體保持優雅與張力。酒莊位於深礫石土壤的坡地，採取分期採收並在法國橡木桶中熟成約 20 個月，保留了果實的純淨與陳年潛力。建議醒瓶一小時左右，配紅肉或濃郁奶油質起司最合拍。這款酒既有當下的吸引力，也適合在 cellar 裡慢慢收藏。

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2009 is a benchmark Pauillac from a historic 2ème Cru Classé estate. Deep garnet to ruby, the nose opens with concentrated black fruits—blackberry, cassis and plum—overlaid by cedar, tobacco, graphite and a smoky, incense-like spice. On the palate it is full-bodied and lavishly textured: fleshy ripe fruit, polished yet assertive tannins and a core of savory, mocha and mineral notes. The oak ageing (20 months) brings vanillin and dark chocolate nuances while keeping the wine precise and balanced. Planted on deep gravel soils and managed with careful, phased harvesting, this vintage shows both immediate charm and long-term potential. Expect grand complexity and an exceptional, lingering finish best enjoyed after a generous decant.
