This has a relatively light bouquet that unfolds in the glass, mainly black fruit, cracked black pepper, pencil shavings and bay leaf. Just a light briny sea spray scent sits in the back seat. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, fine acidity, gentle grip and a balanced, off-dry finish that lingers in the mouth. A step up from the previous vintage. \u003cstrong\u003e92-94 Neal Martin, Vinous (2026)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is absolutely gorgeous. Broad, ample and creamy in the glass, the 2025 is seriously beautiful right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, new leather, liquorice, incense and mocha flesh out the layers effortlessly. The blend is 62% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, but the Cabernets really drive the flavour profile and structure. The Griffons might very well be the star of the show this year, given its quality and price. Élevage is projected to be 15 months, with 50% new wood. \u003cstrong\u003e92-94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2026)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2030 - 2048\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58158911652000,"sku":"BX25-GRIFF","price":79.93,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/1889\/8336\/files\/PMFW_20logo_20mark_20red_fc5c5eb3-59c5-411d-81fa-31ed72c85153.jpg?v=1783556637","url":"https:\/\/www.pmfw.co.nz\/products\/2025-les-griffons-de-pichon-baron-aoc-pauillac","provider":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
