While the 2020 vintage showed me a gentler image of Pichon Baron, Pichon Baron 2021 is more of a classic Bordeaux in the 1980s wearing swallow-tailed coat. The aromas are more profound and reserved, dominated by the rich spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, star anise, and amomum tsaoko at this stage. Thanks to its tantalizing acidity, the whole palate is enveloped by a sense of crystal-clear freshness. But interestingly, the relatively high acidity does not intensify the tannins. On the contrary, its foundation-like soft texture is particularly striking, obviously a result of very gentle extraction. Patience will be required for Pichon Baron 2021 to fully bloom. According to my knowledge, after the tertiary aromas of truffle, pine, and cypress waft out, this wine will take your breath away. ???2020????????????????,?2021????????????80??“?????????”??????????????,????????????????????????????????????,??????????????,?????,????????????????,????????????????,??????????????2021???????????????,????????,???????????????????,?????????
