Description

A bottle of 1961 Château Baron de Pichon Longueville, a 'Super Second' growth from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation.

This bottle was imported to the UK by Berry Bros. & Rudd.

'The 1961 Pichon Baron, a wine that I have drunk three times before, finally produces a bottle that fits the billing. The bouquet is wonderful with vibrant, concentrated black fruit laced with cedar and mint, aromatics with a spring in its step. That telltale briny note emerges with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite structured and concentrated, not as complex as its peers but there is good grip and spiciness on the finish. This has the substance to last, though it will not meliorate after six decades. Tasted at the Pichon Baron Ancienne Millésime tasting. 93/100 · Drink 2022-2034'

Neal Martin, 2022

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear.

Please note damage to the label.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
