  Very good for its young age. Tannins were rather smooth. Hints of leather with berries, some vanilla.

  Commanderie Council dinner. Pichon Lalande really managed this vintage well. The wine is of course not a blast of fruit with lush mid palate but it is not thin either. The palate is precise with lots of dark fruit and a touch of toasty oak. Very plesant.

  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+?

  Day of the Goat: A Pichon Lalande Fractured Vertical (Leo & Cheryl's Place, Mpls, MN): Very dark red/purple. PNP, Drank a glass in a flight with the '02 and '04. Note taking was fading at this point. Herbal, some green notes still, cassis, tobacco, graphite, medium-full to full bodied, youthful with wood and some firmer tannins. I'm not so sure about the drinking window suggested by VFC of 2025 to 2075 though. That might be pushing it a bit. 91(+)

  Popped and poured. Surprisingly open. Medium to full bodied. Classic. Nose of black currant and lead pencil. The palate is strict with flavors of black currant, tobacco, lead pencil and some green notes. The finish is a bit abbreviated compared to what you might expect. This is a very good everyday drinking bordeaux today but I don’t expect it to develop into anything marvelous.
