Tasting notes

William Kelley, Wine Advocate (259), February 2022 94

The 2004 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a seamless, charming profile, it is really beginning to drink with some style. It's one of the wines of the vintage and continues to represent terrific value.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (171), June 2007 92

The 2004 Pichon Lalande is a strong effort for the vintage (much better than their underwhelming and much more expensive 2005). A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as scents of cocoa, espresso roast, black cherries, and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, and fleshy, this classic wine cuts a stylistic persona somewhere between the 1995 and 1996. It can be drunk now or cellared for two decades. Also tasted: 2004 Reserve de la Comtesse (88; $35.00)

James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2007 90

Aromas of currant, flowers and berries follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a fruity finish. Round and very caressing. Best after 2010. 20,830 cases made.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, August 2005 17.5

Dark blueish purple. Lots of lift on the nose. Round start to the palate - very Pichon Lalande - and then nice, neat integrated tannins, quite precise. Very fine sandy tannins contribute to an extremely dry finish. A true interpretation of both terroir and vintage. Not heavy but I think probably more successful than the other Pichon, thanks to its life and transparency. Drink 2015-30.

Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, February 2009 17.5

Black core and black cherry narrow rim. Full cassis fruit on the nose plus a mild note of spice and coconut oak. Gently and attractively aromatic. Melted fine-grained tannins, smooth, fresh, powerful but still elegant and long. Drink 2010-2022. Date tasted 17th Feb 09.

Wine International Panel, Wine International (June 05), June 2005

Deceptive wine, in that it promises aromatic, easy, perfumed enjoyment on the nose, then shows that it has more than that to offer on the palate. The raspberry perfume is beguiling, but this has a terrific structure as well, with firm tannins and lovely freshness and acidity. Beautiful perfumed length returns for an encore. 2010-2025

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (165), June 2006 90/92

A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2004 Pichon Lalande is vaguely reminiscent of the 1986 and 1988. Deep ruby/purple-tinged, with moderately high, firm tannin, a degree of austerity, plummy black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, smoke, and dried herbs, good freshness, and medium body, give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 15+ years.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (158), April 2005 91/94

A complex, fragrant bouquet of fennel, black currants, sweet cherries, licorice, and sweet oak (about 50% new oak is utilized) is followed by a medium-bodied Pauillac exhibiting excellent concentration, elegance, and acidity as well as a nicely textured mouthfeel without being anywhere near the size or opulence of the 2003. It appears to be a modern day version of the 1986, with sweeter, riper fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator (April 05), April 2005 89/91

Lovely blackberry and currant aromas with hints of minerals and lightly toasted oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Good wine, with elegance. Wait and see. Could move up a notch. 53 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 36 percent Merlot, 4 percent Cabernet Franc and 7 percent Petit Verdot
