  • Purchased during a cellar sale, this was a very nice bottle showing strong, youthful aromantics; excellent concentration; and a big mouthful of relatively uncomplicated, if dense and pure, black fruit. Nice tannins, good acidity, and excellent balance, too. The mid-palate and finish were a bit weak, but this was very solid for the vintage, and it was a much more complete wine than the 2004 Pichon Lalande I had recently. As with that wine, the QPR here is, of course, atrocious (it’s really no better than a 2009 or 2010 Cantemerle), but it was a very pleasant wine, and I’m glad to have tried it as I continue to explore vintages of Pichon Lalande. 13% ABV (very good/***/16/92)

  • I’m withThe Player on this one. Opened under Coravin in February and checked back in again tonight. Still the same. Belies the vintage. Dark blackcurrant colour. Some oak with steely, graphite, blackberry and cassis nose. Masculine in nature, yet with a degree of elegance and tarry richness that left me sipping constantly till the glass was empty. Black fruit finish, dry in a pleasant way.

  • Lighter than expected - an elegant wine.

  • Very impressive power to this wine given the less than stellar vintage. Blackish crimson cor, decanted amd drank over 2 hours. Nose of blackberries, currants, cassis, graphite and pepper. Solid on the palate, more masculine than the typical Lalande but elegant, powerful mid palate and a long finish with decent complexity and dry tannins fully coated by black fruit. Quite nice.

  • Nose of black currant and black olives. Dark fruits, dark cherry, and black licorice slide into strong minerality with white pepper, flakes of mica, and light acidity. Graphite, iron, and iodine lead into long, caressing tannins with light blackberry and cherry notes peeking out from underneath. Two hour decant, served with grilled hamburgers.
