Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99 100 Punkte »The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is made up of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The Merlot was harvested September 24-25 and the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested October 3-10. The wine is to be aged 18 months in barriques 80% new and 20% one year old and production represents 50% of the harvest this year. Very deep purple-black colored it begins a little coy rolling slowly and languidly out of the glass with notions of baked raspberries blueberry coulis crème de cassis and incense plus nuances of lilacs truffles damp soil and garrigue with wafts of lavender and wild sage. Full-bodied voluptuous and oh-so-seductive the palate reveals layer upon layer of savory earthy and black fruit preserves framed by wonderfully ripe velvety tannins and lovely freshness finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful.« James Suckling: 97-98 100 Punkte »Deep and dark young wine that takes you down deep down to its center palate of blackberries and blueberries firm and very silky tannins and a vivid finish. Wonderful palate and depth in this with such class and finesse. So many layers of polished fine tannins. Great wine.« Decanter: 97 100 Punkte »Straight from the nose you feel the wave of power with the wine uncurling through the palate starting with tight notes of cassis then gently softening into sweeter brambled hedgerow fruits alongside a ton of ink and pencil lead. The tannins are present but seductive and as is often the case this year they're concentrated without being remote. It’s less monolithic than the 2010 with some of the seduction of 2009 at this property but with higher levels of extraction. The harvest took place between 24 September and 11 October. Again we see here a Pauillac with the highest alcohol ever but it carries it extremely well. There was one week less of maceration than normal so 21 days instead of 28 which will have helped control extractions. 86IPT. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«  Wine Enthusiast: 96-98 100 Punkte  »Barrel Sample. Offering big powerful tannins this wine shows an amazing density of immense black fruits. It has a rich structure that's allied with great acidity and a strongly spicy character. There is a wonderful juiciness at the end that gives it an impressive lift.« Wine Spectator: 95-98 100 Punkte »Warm dense and fleshy in feel featuring cassis plum and cherry compote flavors infused with tobacco and worn cedar details. Seriously long with a well-buried iron note though the purity of the fruit is the dominating feature overall. This cuts a pretty broad swath as it moves along. A big wine.« Falstaff: 95 100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat opaker Kern violette Reflexe zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende reife Kirschfrucht zart nach Lakritze Brombeerkonfit ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Saftig elegant und frisch strukturiert angenehme Extraktsüße im Kern lebendig feines Nougat im Abgang bleibt haften ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter.«  Weinwisser: 19 20 »78 % Cabernet Sauvignon 22 % Merlot. 80 % neue Barriques und 20 % Zweitbefüllung 18 Monate 14 1 % vol. 3 4 g Säure 50 % Grand Vin 30 hl ha.
