2009 Chateau Pichon Baron
In benefit of HWISPA-NJ Spring Garden Gala

Fair Market Value: $300.00
Starting Bid: $150.00

This French wine is from the left bank Bordeaux appellation of Paulliac. 2009 is well documented as one of the great modern vintages in Bordeaux and as such the wines are highly sought after. Mix in a 'Super Second' producer like Pichon Baron and this is hot ticket. Long time Bordeaux critic, Neal Martin, just had the chance to revisit the wine at the beginning of this year and has this to say: "The 2009 Pichon-Baron continues to amaze - a benchmark wine of recent years…

This is evolving into one of the standouts of the vintage from Pauillac and unusually, it surpasses the 2010. "Incredibly intense, pure and flawlessly constructed with extravagant layers of fruit and richness, this offering has developed beautifully …It is a voluptuous, opulent Pichon Longueville Baron that may eclipse anything they have made in the past. This brilliant wine should be at its peak between 2018 and 2045." - Robert Parker 98 pts. Wine Advocate 95 pts James Suckling 96 pts Wine Enthusiast
