Expert Reviews – Vintage 2022

Jane Anson writes: Medium to full intensity ruby red, intense and concentrated, this is muscular and fully charged, good slate texture, with smoked caramel and mocha showing the fingerprint of the vintage. 40% new oak, Pierre Montgut director. Drink or Hold. Drinking 2027 to 2036. – Jane Anson 93

William Kelley writes: The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is more Cabernet-driven, echoing the style of the grand vin, as opposed to the more supple, forward Tourelles. Offering up aromas of sweet dark berries and espresso roast, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, built around powdery structuring tannins. Drinking 2027 to 2042.
