Thirty years on, this is Pichon Baron from one of Bordeaux's classical structured vintages—a Pauillac Second Growth from the AXA Millésimes era under the long stewardship of Christian Seely. The 1995 is described as a more restrained, elegant style of Pichon Baron, with less obvious new oak than later vintages, showing the cedar, tobacco, and earthy notes that come only with significant bottle age. The fruit has evolved from primary cassis into something more savory and complex—dried red currant, cherry preserve, leather, and spice. Drinking in its prime; mature bottles like this don't wait, so plan to enjoy.
