Château Pichon-Longueville Baron 2007

Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. Deep and pure in colour. This has a very ripe bouquet that makes me think of Pontet Canet! There are scents of blackberry, briary and a touch of fresh dates, nicely defined and modern in style - a lot of polished oak still to be subsumed. The palate is well balanced with ripe succulent fruit, sweet and lithe towards the polished finish. A fine effort from Mr Seely & team. - RobertParker.com
