Tasting Note

The 2020 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron shows a deep garnet-purple hue in the glass. Aromatically expressive, it opens with a rush of ripe blackberries and blackcurrant pastilles, laced with cracked black pepper. Subtler layers of wood smoke, black olive, and earthy truffle emerge with air. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and vibrant, framed by finely woven tannins that carry the wine through to a finish marked by elegance and finesse.
