"One of the two second wines from this estate, this is dominated by Merlot, giving a rounded, jammy character that is comfortably filled out with generous tannins. With chocolate and spice flavors, the wine is developing well. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss"

"The nose is fresh and offers power, delicacy as well as a certain intensity (in freshness), a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy/fat cassis and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of violet plum as well as hints of violet, a racy minerality (terroir) as well as fine hints of green cardamom, caramelization and a hint of bourbon vanilla pod. The palate is beautifully fresh and offers gourmandize, minerality, juiciness, a beautiful definition as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain, a bright fruit which brings purity and an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/fresh blackberry, fleshy/fresh raspberry and small notes of racy minerality associated with touches of violet, tea, saffron, small fresh/fleshy fruits as well as hints of chocolate, a racy minerality, tonka bean, caramelization, very discreet hints of toasted hazelnut and a subtle hint of gravy minerality (in the background). Good length. Tannins are well-built and elegant. Fine hints of chocolate and toasted oak on the persistence."

"Der merlotlastige unter den beiden Zweitweinen von Pichon-Baron. Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Ockerrandaufhellung. Zarte Kirschfrucht, rotbeerige Aspekte, zart tabakige Würze, etwas zurückhaltend. Mittlerer Körper, feine Pflaumenfrucht, etwas fordernde Tannine, im Abgang noch etwas sperrig, braucht noch Zeit."
