Pichon-Baron's beaming winemaker Jean-Réné Matignon has once
again made a sleek, sexy and hedonistic wine in 2005. With an
intoxicating perfumed nose and a powerful, velvety palate of black cherries
this ripe, polished, minerally wine is pure Pauillac. The 64% Cabernet
Sauvignon is unsurprisingly to the fore, with the small berries bestowing great
concentration and beautiful pure fruit on this wine. This is another fine
performance set to confirm Pichon-Baron's position at the top of Bordeaux's
echelon.

As usual, this superb Pauillac possesses an inky/blue/black color in addition
to a big, sweet nose of graphite, charcoal, burning embers, black currant
liqueur, and toasty vanillin from new oak casks. Full-bodied with high but
sweet, well-integrated tannins, the 2005 Pichon Baron is more backward than the
blockbuster 2003 or prodigious 2000. Nevertheless, it is a superb effort whose
power, length, and tannic structure suggest it should be at its peak between
2015-2035.
