Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2018 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot, to be aged 12 months in barriques, 30% new and 70% one year old. Production represents 20% of the harvest this year. Very deep purple-black in color, it comes bounding out of the glass with frisky cassis, chocolate-covered cherries and boysenberries scents followed up by notions of dried Provence herbs, moss-covered bark, charcuterie and tapenade. Full, rich and opulent in the mouth, it has bold black fruit and savory expressions, with firm, grainy tannins and a long, meaty finish.
James Suckling
Blackberry, plum, cocoa and gravel aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins framing a solid core of spiced black fruit. Tight, mineral finish. Very fine and balanced. Try from 2024.

The nose is fresh, elegant and offers intensity, a beautiful richness, freshness, deepness, finesse and a beautifully controlled power. It reveals notes of pulpy/bright cassis, bright/ripe redcurrantand small notes of garrigues strawberry associated with touches of small black fruits, cornflower, violet, vanilla as well as discreet hints of saffron/vanilla. The palate is elegant, fresh, mineral, delicate, racy (gravels) and offers gourmandize, a beautiful definition, a beautifully controlled power as well as a fine straightness, deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, fresh/fleshy raspberry and small notes of cassis associated with touches of violet, pulpy/fresh plum as well as hints of lily, gravels, tonka bean, fine hints of saffron, toasted/toasted oak and a very discreet hint of crushed almond. Tannins are elegant, precise and finely chewy. Sweetness and gourmandize on the finish/persistence.

It reveals notes of fresh/ripe blackberry, cassis and violet associated with a hint of redcurrant as well as a discreet hint of plum, caramelized oak and a subtle hint of sweet spices. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, slightly powerful and offers a slight gourmandise, a slight fleshy, an acid frame, straightness, a slight deepness as well as an acid frame and juiciness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fresh/fleshy boysenberry, plum and slight notes of fresh raspberry associated with a hint of redcurrant, toasted oak, cacao, a subtle grilled hint as well as a hint of cardamom and Ceylan tea. Tannins are fine, racy and structuring. Good length. Good persistence on a subtle hint of caramelization/vanilla.'

Extrema förhållanden ledde tidigt till hårt mögeltryck som minskade skörden vid vissa egendomar, men torrt och varmt väder med start i mitten av juli räddade årgången. De bästa röda är täta och tanninrika, med något högre alkohol och lägre syra, men fantastiskt driv och definition.Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion

Den regniga första halvan av säsongen minskade tidigare än den vänstra stranden, med torra förhållanden under andra halvan som gynnade ler- och kalkstensjordar, men vinerna är mer inkonsekventa överlag, med några vackra exempel, men andra visar något strama, örtartade profiler; Senmognad Cabernet Franc är en nyckelspelare.
