Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: "Deep, dark – almost opaque – ruby red. Intense aromas are earthy, with clean cassis perfume & cedar & tobacco notes. The wine has a lovely velvety smooth structure & good depth & intensity of fruit, that is meaty & almost tarry. Length is good acidity is perhaps a little soft. This is a big wine with plenty of potential to develop superbly." - 11/99 DCAMW
"It is an exquisite example of Pichon-Lalande with the Merlot component giving the wine a coffee/chocolatey/cherry component to go along with the Cabernet Sauvignon's and Cabernet Franc's complex blackberry/cassis fruit. The wine possesses an opaque black/ruby/purple colour, and sexy, flamboyant aromatics of pain grille, black fruits, and cedar. Exquisite on the palate, this full-bodied, layered, multidimensional wine should prove to be one of the vintage's most extraordinary success stories." (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115, Feb. 1998)
