Pichon Lalande Comtesse de Lalande Reserve de la Comtesse 2016 in 12er Holzkiste

Robert Parker: The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with beautiful kirsch, cassis and redcurrants with hints of red roses, black tea, black pepper, chocolate box and cloves. The palate is medium-bodied, very elegant and fresh with gorgeous silken tannins and loads of bright fruit, finishing spicy. 90/100 (2018)

Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte rote Herzkirschfrucht, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Saftig, süß und elegant, feine Tannine, gute Extraktsüße im Abgang, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter 93/100 (2019)

James Suckling: The stunning, ripe dark berries and plums on the nose are attractively dressed and deliver a wealth of assertively rich and juicy dark-fruit flavors on the palate, in balanced and elegant yet powerful style. The best Réserve de la Comtesse for some time. Second wine of Château Pichon-Lalande. 94/100 (2019)
