Description

Les Tourelles de Longueville Pichon-Longueville Baron, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, 2017

Grapes: Merlot-dominant "second" wine, 12 months in barrel (30% new).

"The Merlot-based expression of Pichon Baron’s second wine contains 55% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Les Tourelles de Longueville gives aromas of crushed blackberries, warm plums and mulberries with accents of bay leaves, garrigue and cinnamon stick plus a touch of anise. Medium-bodied, soft, plush and with plenty of mid-palate fruit, it finishes on a spicy note."

(89-91/100) points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, April 2018

"Inky black colour with purple rim. Spicy, intense black fruit. More reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon than of Merlot. Chewy texture but sweet fruit shows the Merlot. Silky and fresh, balanced if not concentrated on the mid palate. Fresh and juicy on the finish. Easy. (JH)"

16/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2018
