2003 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac (1/2/2020)
Decanted 4 hrs. Looking at my last note on this was in Dec of 06, and I recall distinctly how the forward, ripe fruit dominated its youthful profile. 13 years later, this is like a chunky adolescence going through a growth spurt, and shaping out to its proper adult size. While still carrying a good deal of rich cassis goodness, there is a lot more apparent structure present, making for a more satisfying whole. Very classy and my guess is this has some years yet before it really hits it stride. (94 pts.)
