98 Points - James Suckling

What a nose with complex aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, this has layers of tannins and intense richness but is framed and held together by the phenolic structure. Vertical and deep, it goes on for minutes on the palate. Great finish. Give this five to six years to come together more.

98 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This is already shaping up to being one of the stars of the vintage. With its great fruit, fully enveloped by the structure and tannins, the wine has been set well for the future. The aromatic black fruits are intense and concentrated.

97 Points - Wine Spectator

This towering red offers a remarkable combination of freshness and weight. The well-endowed core of cassis, plum and black cherry puree shows polish and brightness, and a sleek iron note keeps this grounded. Rose petal, iris and apple wood notes add complexity, with a subtle savory edge. Best from 2026 through 2050.

98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Aromas of sweet dark berries and cherries mingled with cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and licorice introduce the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Integrated and serious, while remaining classic and controlled.
