Saturday, September 14, 2019 - The last time I tasted this was out of barrel in 2012, so it’s fun to revisit and see how it’s come along. I’m 2012, I was surprised by the depth and balance given the vintage and I’m equally pleased today. Though still a bit young for my taste, this is fun to drink now - lots of energy and swagger. Those nose shows an intense, immediately-open melange of blackberry, blueberry, acacia, oak, and a hint of lavender. Lush and juicy on the plate; the tannins are already soft. Beautifully fruit-filled finish. Well done, Pichon Comtesse. 93+?
