James Suckling: 94 Points
This is a vivacious and very attractive, ripe Pauillac with aromas of ripe red plums, cherries and blackberries on offer. The palate has a plush, refined and suave array of very attractive, fine but dense tannins and the rich blackberries, plums and mulberries carry long and super fresh. Try from 2023.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This has showy fruit, with dark plum, boysenberry and black currant compote flavors that are nicely melded, with freshness provided by licorice snap and violet notes. A really strong graphite edge drives the finish, with fine acidity playing an important supporting role along the way. Best from 2023 through 2038. 1,883 cases made. — JM

The 2016 Pibran, which contains 68% Merlot, had just been bottled when I conducted the vertical tasting. It has a fabulous bouquet of black currant and black cherry fruit, beautifully defined and seamlessly integrated with the oak. The medium-bodied palate offers exquisite pure black fruit laced with graphite. It conveys energy and tension, and the finish is supremely detailed and sophisticated. This is a seriously good Pibran, probably the best ever made. Tasted at the Pibran vertical at Château Pichon-Baron.

The 2016 Pibran is a very pretty, floral Pauillac with lovely red berry character and tons of class. Medium in body, the 2016 will drink well pretty much upon release. Feminine and understated, the 2016 is super-refined from start to finish, not to mention a true joy to taste today.
