Chateau Pichon Baron Longueville 2008

The wine has a deep dark color with a subtle garnet shimmer.
The nose is complex and seductive, with notes of black cherries, wild berries and menthol, complemented by dark chocolate, spices and coffee.
The attack is open, revealing a fleshy and expressive wine, carried by enveloping tannins and a delicious acidity. With freshness and refinement, it builds to a crescendo, offering exquisite tertiary aromas of cardamom and truffle. The finish is long and persistent, a magnificent Pauillac wine that is still young and alive.
