It has a very pure and precise bouquet with a light marine influencing the black cherries and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a tense, graphite-tinged opening, a fine line of acidity (pH 3.72) and a silky smooth finish. The Cabernet Sauvignon is very expressive and dominates the Merlot at the moment, although the Merlot is essentially counterbalancing what might have been a much more austere Pichon-Lalande. Under Nicolas Glumineau, this Pauillac estate is really beginning to \"motor\" and this is an excellent wine, one within touching distance of the First Growths.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-review-description\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expertReview\"\u003eDecanter \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expertReviewRating\"\u003e17.5+\/20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expertReviewRating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-review-description\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"expertReviewRating\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expert-review-description\"\u003e'Lovely fragrant cassis fruit – quite feminine compared to Pichon-Baron.
