Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2018, Pauillac 2nd vin - Parker 91
(€72.67 L)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose opens with wonderfully pure cassis and ripe black plums notes, leading to hints of clove oil, chocolate-covered cherries and tobacco leaf, with a waft of bay leaves. The palate delivers a firm, rugged texture and soft acidity, framing the mouth-coating black fruits nicely, finishing on a savory note. robertparker.com (31.3.2021)
