    April 1, 2024 - Nicely aged powerful Pauillac! A blend of 45 % CS, 35 % Merlot, 12 % CF and 8 % PV: tobacco, bell pepper, black fruit, leather, smoke, cigar box, medium plus body, nice long dry finish.

    March 20, 2024 - Big and oaky, with a strong slightly unpleasant finish of tar. Quite a heavy extraction here, with a robust structure. Long finish. Some complexity. Drinking now, may improve.

    February 24, 2024 - It took quite a while for this wine to come out of its shell (2+ hours), but once it did, it was a pleasant experience. Had a level of acidity that was a bit surprising and fairly thin for Pauillac. Some fruit, but mostly tertiary notes. Tobacco, cedar.

    January 26, 2024 - A 3hr slow-ox in Reidel BDXs & btl prior to dinner did the trick. Drinking so much better than my first un-impressive btl back in 2014 & there's still some upside, I think. With just one btl though, no regrets where we found it. Classic Pauillac with cigar ash, berries & forest floor on the nose. Lead pencil, more cigar and red fruit on an elegant mostly resolved palate. Very enjoyable with Nita's cast iron flank steak. Purchased a few years down the road from release but spent most its time in my wine cabinet. Served in the high 50s/low 60s.

    Bordeaux in Snuax, Episode #814, 2/11/2010 (link) 90+ points

    (Chateau Pichon Lalande) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-a little stinkified; some plum and licorice action; definite stinky beef jerky and a little pepper; a little blueberry; very aromatic; PALATE-bigger and meatier; big structure; has some really firm and tough tannins that some will be not love, but this is still quite youthful; this is Bordeaux at it's best as it can age; really sour cherries are dominating the mid-palate; pencil shavings coming through; also an intriguing mushroom component that I really like; this is young, but this is still so darn drinkable; RP-93; GV-90+
