TASTING
Les Griffons de Pichon Baron 2021 is a sustained ruby-red colour with glints of purple, still young and with an appealing gleam. Notes of delicate white flowers lead into a classic Cabernet-Sauvignon bouquet with aromas of blackcurrant, licorice and lovely woody notes. The combination is elegant and refined. The attack is ample and fresh, the mouthfeel is taut and thick, wrapped in a pleasing tannic structure. Flavours of blueberry, ripe cherry, cedar and mild spices joyfully enrich this powerful wine. It lingers at the finish, sappy with hints of licorice candy.
