Tasting notes

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (171), June 2007 93

An undeniable star of the vintage, Pichon-Baron’s 2004 boasts an inky/ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a big, sweet nose of melted licorice, chocolate, black currant jam, truffles, and charcoal embers. Soft tannin, full body, and abundant opulence and flesh are atypical for the vintage character, but this wine is loaded. Pure, ripe, and evolved, it should be at its finest between 2009-2022.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator (April 05), April 2005 89/91

Currants and minerals on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium, caressing finish

Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, December 2021 94

This is a vintage that is tasting great right now, and I definitely suggest getting out any bottles that you have and starting to explore them. Plenty of concentrated cassis and blackberry fruits, waves of fresh mint leaf and eucalyptus on the finish, tannins that are beginning to fully melt into the structure but still confidently holding everything in place. This is juicy and enjoyable. 80% new oak. Jean-Rene Matignon technical director.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, August 2005 16.5

Broad, toasty nose. But a little bit dilute on the palate and then pretty astringent tannins. Not the most harmonious blend. Good acidity though.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (165), June 2006 89/92

One can’t say enough about the terrific job manager Christian Seeley is doing at Pichon Longueville Baron. The 2004 possesses a dense ruby/purple color, a classic nose of creme de cassis, licorice, graphite, and smoke, an elegant, medium to full-bodied style, crisp acidity, and freshness and definition reminiscent of a down-sized 1996. This well-made Pauillac should be at its finest between 2008-2020.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (158), April 2005 90/93+

One of the top Pauillacs of the vintage, the 2004 Pichon Longueville Baron exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color along with a big, rich nose of smoked meats, licorice, blackberries, currants, and notions of tar and truffles. The wine is medium to full-bodied with austere tannin as well as abundant fruit, outstanding purity, and a layered mid-palate. Although it can not be compared to such prodigious Pichon Baron’s as 2000, 1990, or 1989, it is a successful effort for the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020.
