TN: 2002 Chateau Pichon-Baron

Dark and extracted with some dark purple edging. Casis, mineral tar, vanilla and blackberry. After some time, vanilla became more apparent with some coffee aromas as well. Medium bodied, with tart blackberry flavors. Soft, spicy tannins and a fairly short finish. This will work with a steak, but I don't think this is worth $50 a bottle. C

    From a 375. 1 hr decant. Very dark, deep purple color. Nose has mostly lots of black currant, hint of licorice, a bit of sweet figs. The nose floats out of the glass... I love it when wine does that. Palate has medium weight, nice tannic structure that builds throughout the sip, a sweet kick just before the finish, and lots of black fruits/blackberry/black currant on the finish. Wine still has a good balance of acid and tannins that implies good development for a long time, but still approachable now. No real secondary characteristics yet... mostly primary, but certainly a very masculine wine. This wine is far better today than at my last tasting 1 year ago. 92-93 (93 pts.)
