Château Pichon Baron - Pauillac (Grand Cru Classé) 2006 (750ml) Recioto chopped nut and savory herb95 points Decanter A rather solar expression suffuses the complex nose mingling notes of prunes, spices, and forest floor.

Superb wine whose complexity and depth sneak up on you. (YC) (12 2021) 95 points Jane Anson One of the rare estates where the 2006 is a step above
