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'
