Considering how many great wines have been produced at Pichon Lalande over the years, saying this is the finest wine ever made here says a lot. But this wine is off the charts! Perfect in every way, from start to finish...   Considering how many great wines have been produced at Pichon Lalande over the years, saying this is the finest wine ever made here says a lot. But this wine is off the charts! Perfect in every way, from start to finish, the wine is mind-blowing! Full bodied, sensuous, silky, sweet, and fresh with an incredible purity to the fruit that must be tasted to be believed. The more than 60 second, opulent, in fact, decadent finish keeps you going back for another sip. And all this is taking place in its youth. When this reaches maturity.... Hello Wine Nirvana! Bravo to Nicolas Glumineau and his team for making such an incredible wine! Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/search-wine-tasting-notes/?szSearch=2016+Pichon+Longueville

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc brought up in 60% new oak, it's not the most powerful Left Bank but offers perfect balance and thrilling intensity as well as heavenly aromatics of crème de cassis, leafy herbs, jammy blackberries, tobacco leaf, and freshly sharpened lead pencils as well as more violets and minerality with time in the glass. Possessing a deep, full-bodied, singular character, the purity of fruit that's the hallmark of the vintage, building tannins, and a sense of class and elegance that's hard to describe, it's a 50-year-wine. While this cuvée has included a fair chunk of Merlot in the past that gave it more upfront appeal, it's important for readers to know it's much more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated today, and while it is slightly more approachable than some of its neighbors, it shuts down rather quickly with time in the glass. (I followed this wine for multiple days.) I suspect a solid decade of cellaring is warranted.

Full-bodied, dense and very layered with loads of richness. It goes on for minutes. Reminds me of the 1986. Best in decades? Take a first look at it in 2025.

Deep purple-black in color, it is a little mute, slowly unfurling to reveal a core of crushed blackcurrants, blueberry compote and black raspberries with nuances of cinnamon stick, violets, star anise, menthol and pencil shavings plus a waft of fallen leaves. Medium-bodied and super intense in the mouth, the palate bursts with black fruits and savory layers, complemented by red fruit sparks and framed by fantastically ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing very long with a lingering suggestion of minerality. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The tannins deepen and tighten and here we are, smack-bang in the northern Médoc. This is youthful, rich, powerful and intense; very good quality. It gets better and better as you return to it, and I'm really impressed with the texture and depth of the silky-smooth palate: pure cassis notes alongside hawthorn, hedgerow and liquorice. Matured in 60% new oak. Read more at https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews/france/bordeaux/chateau-pichon-longueville-comtesse-de-lalande-pauillac-10961#PjgSUCbmt3HJKOKd.99

A terrific tug of cast iron emerges at the very end. Deliciously juicy dark fruit keeps rolling throughout. Best from 2025 through 2040. — JM
