Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99 100 Punkte »The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is made up
of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The Merlot was harvested September 24-25 and the
Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested October 3-10. The wine is to be aged 18 months in barriques
80% new and 20% one year old and production represents 50% of the harvest this year. Very deep
purple-black colored it begins a little coy rolling slowly and languidly out of the glass
with notions of baked raspberries blueberry coulis crème de cassis and incense plus nuances
of lilacs truffles damp soil and garrigue with wafts of lavender and wild sage. Full-bodied
voluptuous and oh-so-seductive the palate reveals layer upon layer of savory earthy and black
fruit preserves framed by wonderfully ripe velvety tannins and lovely freshness finishing
very long and perfumed. Beautiful.« James Suckling: 97-98 100 Punkte »Deep and dark young wine
that takes you down deep down to its center palate of blackberries and blueberries firm and
very silky tannins and a vivid finish. Wonderful palate and depth in this with such class and
finesse. So many layers of polished fine tannins. Great wine.« Decanter: 97 100 Punkte
»Straight from the nose you feel the wave of power with the wine uncurling through the palate
starting with tight notes of cassis then gently softening into sweeter brambled hedgerow fruits
alongside a ton of ink and pencil lead. The tannins are present but seductive and as is often
the case this year they're concentrated without being remote. It’s less monolithic than the
2010 with some of the seduction of 2009 at this property but with higher levels of extraction.
The harvest took place between 24 September and 11 October. Again we see here a Pauillac with
the highest alcohol ever but it carries it extremely well. There was one week less of
maceration than normal so 21 days instead of 28 which will have helped control extractions.

Offering big powerful tannins this wine shows an amazing density of immense black fruits. It
has a rich structure that's allied with great acidity and a strongly spicy character. There is
a wonderful juiciness at the end that gives it an impressive lift.« Wine Spectator: 95-98 100
Punkte »Warm dense and fleshy in feel featuring cassis plum and cherry compote flavors
infused with tobacco and worn cedar details. Seriously long with a well-buried iron note
though the purity of the fruit is the dominating feature overall. This cuts a pretty broad
swath as it moves along. A big wine.« Falstaff: 95 100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat opaker
Kern violette Reflexe zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende reife Kirschfrucht zart nach Lakritze
Brombeerkonfit ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Saftig elegant und frisch strukturiert angenehme
Extraktsüße im Kern lebendig feines Nougat im Abgang bleibt haften ein facettenreicher
