Pichon Lalande 碧尚女爵 2004 (OWC 6)

Description

By Wine Advocate in 2022 (WA94)
The 2004 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a seamless, charming profile, it is really beginning to drink with some style. It’s one of the wines of the vintage and continues to represent terrific value.

By Wine Enthusiast in 2007 (WE94)
There is only one question about what is otherwise a magnificent wine—whether the current dominant wood flavors will soften and blend enough. If they do, then the powerful fruit, spice and freshness will all come together in a stellar wine.

By Jeff Leve in 2016 (JL93)
Open, with a soft textured, silky, medium bodied palate that says it’s ready to go. But the secondary aromatics are not showing themselves yet.
