Tasting notes
The 2014 Pichon Comtesse de Lalande has a gorgeous bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, scents of pencil box and wild hedgerow, gaining intensity in the glass. It is a little more opulent than the Pichon Baron. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, silky smooth in texture, moving discretely towards secondary flavors. However, the finish is brighter than many of its peers. Excellent. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting and blind at the Southwold 10-Year On.

Tasted blind. Dark and youthful colour. Leafy with cigar-box evolution and just a touch charry. Lots of freshness on the palate even though the oak is still quite present. Fine-grained with a mouth-watering finish. (JH)
Caressing and finessed tannins, with a pronounced floral character to the Cabernet Sauvingon, fragrant tomato leaf and iris alongside the dark cassis and bilberry fruits. Love this, totally delivering on the potential of 2014 in this corner of the Médoc. Hard to resist. This was the longest harvest on record at the estate, stretching from September 16 to October 14. 36hl/h yield, 60% new oak. First year in the new cellar, 3.61ph.
