|Château Pichon Baron 2000 has a deep, dark colour. The nose is still somewhat hesitant, with hints of toast, cedar and dark fruit.
Full-bodied and elegant, powerful and refined on the palate. The tannins are harmonious and silky. The length is truly impressive, almost captivating. Here is a vintage which will remain a benchmark for its perfectly restrained powerfulness, a marvelous expression of the distinction of the terroir backed by the remarkable quality of the tannins.
