International Wine Challenge - November 1999

GOLD MEDAL WINNER "First-class Bordeaux, with lovely richness and finesse. Fine dusty tannins; good texture and balance and a generous memorable finish make this a luxurious wine."

Serena Sutcliffe - Tasting Notes - April 1999

"Pichon violets on the nose, plus redcurrants and roses. Silky and seductive. So smooth it slips down. Not a big Pichon (no press wine was added), but a filigree Pichon of enormous charm and allure. Melts in the mouth. A Pichon for the Summer. But - attention - the finish has a touch of firmness and definition that could indicate future strength - great terroir has a habit of doing this."

Clive Coates - The Vine - May 1998

"Medium-full colour. Lovely fruit. Very ample, very stylish on the nose…Medium to medium-full. Lovely fruit. Good acidity. Elegant and succulent. But already ready for drinking."
