Why it’s worth drinking: Paulliac is a very famous region. 44 years of aging is quite a bit of time to consider while enjoying. What happened to you in 1980? When you were celebrating the millennium, this wine was waiting for you. During every holiday and birthday, this wine was waiting. Wines like this say to accept them as they are. This level of age has flavors that younger wines don’t. Pichon Baron is a second growth in arguably the top Bordeaux region.
