Chateau Pichon-Baron 1997

Perfumed and velvety, Chateau Pichon-Baron 1997 (Pauillac, Bordeaux) is light ruby and clear, exhibiting beautifully perfumed and three-dimensional aromas of cassis and raseberry,followed by leather, pencil and blueberry. Medium bodied, it delivers a velvety mouthful and cooked red fruits and a refined finish. At its apogee, a delight to drink. Drink now. Score 17/20. Hogi Hyun, 21 Jan 2005.
