  The bottle looked brand new and the fill was high. This made sense since it was recorked in 2005. Mature nose, very much alive on the palate. Soft with aged, dark fruit, earth and pencil. It came across a little flat. Others enjoyed this more than I did.

  The best bottle of this I have ever tasted just stole the show! When the cork came out, looking good, I had high hopes. When the wine hit my glass, I knew it was a show stopper with its cedar, lead pencil, truffle, Cuban cigar, and red currant perfume. The soft, silky, layered palate was everything you want in a Pichon Lalande. This is a wow wine. If you ever see it with provenance, buy it! If well stored, and this is a big if... Drink from 2023-2033.

  A stunning bottling by Calvet. Still a deep red, no sign of browning. Soft and mellow, still plenty of fruit.

  Blackcurrant spiked with crunchy cranberry, nice acidic balance, resolved tannins. Mature but not tired, elegant, with mushroom, herbal, and cigarbox notes. Above my high expectations. A-

  Epic Bordeaux for an Epic Birthday!; 9/1/2021-9/12/2021 (Paris & Bordeaux): Some debate on whether there might have been a flaw in this bottle. To me that translated that it perhaps didn't quite have the depth you might expect from this year but it was still a very tasty.
