They were lovely wines, but one was missing: the 2013. This is widely regarded to be the weakest Bordeaux vintage of recent years (perhaps alongside the 2007), but I had a bottle lurking, so I cracked it over dinner a few nights ago. These days, a Ch\u00e2teau like Pichon doesn&#8217;t release bad wines, and the 2013 is not a bad wine. I really enjoyed it, and although I wouldn&#8217;t cellar it for 15 years, it will make fabulous drinking over the next 5-10 if you have any.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ch\u00e2teau Pichon Baron 2013 Pauillac, Bordeaux, France<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is really fresh and balanced. Lovely blackcurrant fruit with some raspberry freshness, and savoury notes of gravel and spice. It&#8217;s definitely a lighter expression of Pichon, but it&#8217;s perfectly proportioned and drinking very well now, and will carry on drinking well for a decade, I reckon. Lovely focus and definition here. Classic Claret with nice structure and acidity. 93\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I was lucky to be able to taste all the Pichon Barons from the current era, 2001 until 2014.
