I once wrote that Pichon Baron is better than many 1990 First Growth, and that is a statement I have no reason to change.
1990 PICHON BARON HOW TO
It is a Pichon Baron that only knows how to give sophisticated drinking pleasure. Love this wine, shows plenty of structure but zero hard edges. Suffused with tension, it gains weight in the mouth toward the slightly tart finish. Beautifully rich, enticing, soft tannins, a lovely old Paullac that you can sink into. The palate is perfectly balanced, perhaps not as structured as it once showed since the tannins have mellowed, but what you get is a Pauillac relishing its secondary phase, which is almost Burgundy-like in terms of mouthfeel. You just want to become enveloped by these aromas. Now showing some bricking on the rim, the bouquet is utterly sublime, with red berries, cedar, touches of graphite, crushed rose petals and incense. Now at 27 years of age, it is clearly at its peak, and what a wondrous thing it is. An amazing opaque blue/purple color is followed by scents of spring flowers, graphite, smoky charcoal, incense.
