and very difficult for me to taste without passion

Both were superb

Since 2002 there's been no Cabernet in the blend

thick white Hermitage will not be as long lived as the 2009

Pichon Baron Vintage:2013 and very difficult for meThe 1999 Pichon Baron now has better precision and focus than the 1998. The nose of blackberry, graphite and smoke is not intense but gains vigor with continued aeration. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannin and a little brine on the entry, and quite saline, showing moderate depth. It just feels a bit foursquare toward the finish. It will not improve further, so drink over the next five or six years. Neal Martin
