Pichon Baron other_regions The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo

The 2001 Sorì San Lorenzo is all about finesse and texture

Light gold color

bringing a spicy personality that belies a profound and deep nature

a wine that ultimately is produced only about once every four years or so

spice and a very linear mineral tone at the back

Pichon Baron other_regions The 2001 Sorì San LorenzoThe 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
