Pop and pour
A bit shy initially, but slowly unfolded
Loved the crisp red fruit, some nice snap to it, then green olives start poppin' and graphite notes emerge...good tannin structure noticed on the finish...I enjoyed this quite a bit.

My first Pibran but definitely not my last

If I can find that exact wine, I'll buy. Can't remember the vintage of Pibran we had at the Chateau Pichon Baron, but I like it so much.

I've had my eye on it at MacArthur's I think it is $45-ish. I can't remember whether we had the 2009 or 2010 at Pichon Baron, but it was excellent. More merlot dominated generally, I believe, although aren't they in the midst of changing the blend?

It is $39.99 at MacArthur's.

The best Pibran I can remember was a superb 1989. Easily the equivalent of a third growth or so. I liked this uncompromising elegant wine so much that I tried to snatch a few cases of this nectar - unfortunately without success.

The 2003 still is a beauty too. A child of its vintage, but with good acidity and depth.
