Similarly to many other properties, Pichon Lalande were extremely selective with their fruit this year, employing rigorous work in the vineyard, but also the use of an optical sorting machine for the first time this year. This is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot and is darkly appealing on the nose, with notes of clove spice and black fruit. The palate shows a sense of restrained power, pure black fruits held in check by firm but fine tannins and a mineral backbone. Very good indeed. (Robert Parker Score 91-93)
