We have frequently tasted Pichon Baron and Comtesse. Generally, the Comtesse is the favorite of our customers. But we have had some very nice surprises with Baron, especially on closed vintages like 86 or 88.

We have tasted this 1985 on several occasions, it is a superb wine which will take about an hour after opening the bottle to wake up.
