Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, venison, duck, braised beef, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses.
92 Points - James Suckling
A Pichon Baron with currants and cocoa powder. It’s a little lean but shows lovely full body, bright fruit and polished tannins. Lovely race and finesse. Better in 2018.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
Shows a taut feel for now, with lots of cassis and blackberry fruit, lined with iron and bramble notes. Dark and well-toasted yet integrated overall, this should stretch out after moderate cellaring, as there's an ample core of dark, fleshy fruit. Best from 2016 through 2028. 15,000 cases made.
