Château Pichon Baron 1919 is a rare and historic vintage from one of Bordeaux's most esteemed wineries, located in the Pauillac appellation. Known for its elegance and complexity, this wine reflects the traditional craftsmanship and terroir of the estate. The 1919 vintage carries the characteristics of a classic Bordeaux with refined tannins, notes of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, and earthy undertones. Given its age, it likely exhibits significant evolution, with softened fruit flavors and a more prominent tertiary profile, offering a unique glimpse into the century-old legacy of Château Pichon Baron.

Given the rarity of this 105-year-old bottle, there are few reviews to reference, but most recent being Jeff Leve who writes: "Pale, rosehip tea in color, the wine has taken on sherry characteristics on top of the light, bright red fruits. It's a drinkable part of history."

Please note that this bottle has a low shoulder fill, which may indicate some loss of liquid due to evaporation over time, potentially affecting the wine's condition and quality.
