1989 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac (4/13/2007)
WIML95,WA95,WS98

Tasted April 13, 2007 at an offline. Opened and decanted for sediment right before serving. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of cedar, leather, roasted meat and Kirsch. Flavors of cassis, sweet berries and chewy red currants. Medium acidity and tannins, full bodied. Needs more time in bottle in my opinion. (95 pts.)
