Pauillac Second Growth Château Pichon Baron has had an extraordinary run of consistency since the turn of the millennium. The 2009 vintage was reviewed by Vinous as follows, `The 2009 Pichon-Baron replicates its epic performance at the vertical tasted last year. It has one of the finest bouquets among the group of Pauillac with copious blackberry, mint, melted tar and graphite notes, fresh and supremely well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very well judged acidity. Harmonious with plenty of tobacco and pencil lead infused black fruit towards the persistent finish. Awesome.`
