A very large crop in 2004 led to fears of dilution, and while some wines are already near their peak, the best are still going strong. The nose here is sweet and charming, with blackcurrant and black cherry aromas. It's fresh and sleek, silky and poised, and while concentrated it has less weight and depth than the great years. It has impeccable balance and stylishness, however, and is starting to drink well. It's not a heavyweight, but it's both enjoyable and serious, with a long finish.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index annual 10-year on tasting from an ex-château bottle. The Pichon Baron 2004 is showing just a little more wood on the nose compared to its peers, stronger pencil lead and tobacco scents coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with decent structure, quite meaty and more Saint Julien-like towards the finish that is long in the mouth. This is quite a luscious, spicy Pauillac although the Pichon-Lalande is beginning to show more charm and panache. Tasted March 2014.

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.

Deep ruby-red. Sexy, expressive nose melds currant, tobacco, coffee, mocha, leather and nutty oak. Rich, supple and sweet; a bit less dense than the 2006 but quite savory and enticing. This will evolve well in bottle but already offers considerable complexity. A great success for the year.

Lots of currant, licorice and light tar aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, yet refined and silky on the palate, with a lightly chewy finish. Needs time. Best after 2010. 20,000 cases made.

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.

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.

Belle prise de bois, corps puissant, tannin ferme et racé, grande franchise dans la construction et dans la tenue du tannin, vin très classique et prometteur, un rien moins avancé que d'autres à ce stade.

"Pratiquement noir de robe, ce millésime de Pichon-Baron développe un nez intense de mûre. Après une attaque large, un milieu de bouche moelleux et tannique, il présente un petit défaut de densité puis termine sur une belle finale sur la réglisse et la suie. Il impressionne par son volume."

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