(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+

(CHATEAU PICHON LALANDE) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-awesome; meaty/fleshy component (Boars Head Ham); V8 juice w/ Tabasco sauce; underlining licorice aspect; TASTE-take a plum...wrap bacon around it..put it in a Microwave for 5 minutes (let plum explode)…take it out...slap on some black pepper & asparagus..THAT's exactly what this wine tastes like..and ME LIKE-Y; Bacon & Plum on your mouth all day...attacking; this is Old World; really beautiful; the Petite Verdot is singing (dark Plum); this is REAL Bordeaux; will last 10-20 years; RP-93; GV-94+

5/4/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 96 Points
This is better than it's ever been. If you've ever doubted the old chestnut of a wine "putting on weight" with age this will disabuse you of any skepticism. The fruit here is as black and dense as road tar, still youthful, succulent, and sweet - except when this was *actually* in its youth it was nowhere nearly so rich and dense. But the accompanying flavors are the stuff that only comes out with bottle age, loads of smoldering tobacco and a scorched, singed character that's almost Pessac-like. This is still climbing up its slope, possibly with even more room for improvement, but at the very least a long ways to go before it tastes like something you'd call mature. Perhaps a successor to the underrated 1985?

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.

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.

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.
