Taste notes（品尝记录）：

Tasted by JJL on 7/9/2009 & rated 95 points: After the corked bottle last night (even worse the next morning), I decided to tempt fate again with the second bottle from the same case. What a difference a bottle makes. Double decanted in the morning, served from bottle with dinner. Tar, smoke, cinnamon and menthol on the nose, more like a northern Rhone. On the palate, green spice, licorice, currants, leather, blackberry and plum. This was a big-bodied wine with lots of tannins and acidity. It drank very young and I am glad I opened it in the morning. One of the better showings of this wine that I have had.

The history of chateau（酒庄历史）：

Château Pichon Baron was once part of a larger estate, owned by Pierre de Rauzan, along with Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. In 1850 the estate was divided into the two current Pichon estates. In 1987 the estate was purchased by French insurance company AXA, who immediately appointed Jean-Michel Cazes of Château Lynch-Bages as administrator.
