"19/20
This Pauillac is remarkable for the elegance of its tannins, the perfect balance between richness and fleshiness, its sappy, fruity flavour with complex fragrances, and its very supple finish. A whole that promises to improve with age."

"As always this Pichon shows lovely balance. This is elegant and suave with lovely ripe tannins. Rather than creating a big impression, this caresses the palate: 88-91."
