Robert Parker (90)

A definitive Pauillac, the dense purple-colored 1998 Pichon-Baron offers up a sweet bouquet of licorice, smoke, asphalt, blackberries, and creme de cassis. In the mouth, the wine is elegant rather than full-blown, with medium body, sweet fruit, nice texture on the attack and mid-palate, and moderate tannin in the long finish. No, this is not as profound as the 1996, 1990 or 1989, but it is an outstanding effort.

Winespectator (88)

Mushroom, sweet tobacco and berries on the nose. Some cocoa too. Medium- to full-bodied, with a slightly loosely knit fruit and tannin structure. But very good and enjoyable already.
