Gravel, Leather & Chocolate - It Must be a Bordeaux!

1994 Baron de Pichon-Longueville Bordeaux, Pauillac
$34.99
Jen’s Notes

Nose of tea roses and sweet, soft cherries. The palate entry shows sweet, concentrated fruit, definitely reminiscent of the nose. The mid-palate shows fruit flavors supported by earthy, leathery notes and gravel. The finish is dry, yet lingering and redolent of chocolaty earth. The tannins are integrated and very balanced. This Bordeaux is nicely structured. While 35 dollars is not to be parted with lightly, I would definitely recommend this as a good value, especially for one’s early forays into aged Bordeaux.
