Reserve de la Comtesse Zweitwein von Ch. Pichon Lalande 2022

"Like a number of second wines from the best classified growths, the 2022 Resèrve de la Comtesse shares much of the personality of the grand vin this year, delivering aromas of blackberries, violets and exotic spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate with a rich core of fruit framed by powdery tannins."
91-93/100 Punkte

"The density of fruit is serious with blackcurrants, black berries, crushed stone and coffee beans. Yet it’s not heavy and overdone. The palate is full and rich, but also agile and weightless, with tannins that are spread and pretty."
95-96/100 Punkte

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Herzkirschen, Brombeeren, etwas Cassis und Edelholz. Gute Komplexität, feine dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, straffe Tannine, die perfekt eingebunden sind, anhal- tend, zartes Nugat im Abgang, Röstaromen im Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial."
95/100 Punkte

"The 2022 Réserve de la Comtesse represents half the total production from the vineyard due to a stricter selection of the Merlot. It has a perfumed, floral bouquet with blueberry, violet and light cassis scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Very sensual with touches of graphite and espresso toward the harmonious finish. You could almost drink this now!"
