Pichon Comtesse Reserve (375ML)

Pichon Comtesse Reserve (375ML)

From Pauillac

Vintage: 2019
Description: 93-94 JS / 93 De / 92-94 Vm / 92-94 Wa / 92-94 We This is a very solid second wine of Pichon Lalande with blackberry, blueberry and sweet, dried-tobacco character. It's full-bodied, chewy and polished. - James Suckling. This is well structured and approaches 2010 in terms of its weight and depth of fruit. Deep spiced damson on the nose, you would be hard pressed not to say that this is as good as very many Cru Bourgeois 1st wines. Huge depth, similar to the 2018 but a little higher acidity, a little less round, a little more classic Pauillac in character. This is confident and serious with lots of tannins. A great 2nd wine, and a reminder of the consistently successful winemaking that is happening at this estate. Drinking Window 2024 - 2038 - Jane Anson, Decanter. The 2019 Réserve de la Comtesse is conspicuously deep in colour. The bouquet takes time to unfurl with exceedingly pure blackberry, raspberry and cassis aromas, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is very well balanced with fresh acidity, fine grain tannins, a touch of salinity developing towards the finish that has more grip than previous vintages. Superb. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Reserve de la Comtesse hits the ground running with aromas of warm black and red plums, stewed cherries and mulberries wafting out of the glass plus hints of spice cake, violets, bouquet garni and Ceylon tea. The medium to full-bodied palate appears a bit weightier than the grand vin, with more open-knit, richer fruit at this youthful stage, delivering a plush texture and plenty of freshness, finishing with lingering notes of plum preserves. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
