2002 CHÂTEAU PICHON LALANDE 2ème Cru Classé Pauillac

2002 CHÂTEAU PICHON LALANDE 2ème Cru Classé Pauillac

Grapes: Merlot  Cabernet Franc  Cabernet Sauvignon  Origin: France, Bordeaux
Lea & Sandeman review
A superb Pichon Lalande, all in finesse, super-fine tannins, fresh and liquid whilst having no lack of volume, and the flavour builds nicely in the mouth. Rich but not remotely solid, it is very fine and elegant. Oak is present and well-integrated, but the fruit is the there above all. Fresh, delicious, long and complete.

Other reviews and comments
One of the best wines of the vintage, this is a classic Pauillac that is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Dense ruby/purple in color with a glorious nose of melted licorice, lavender, barbecue smoke, black currants, and graphite, the wine is tannic, classically structured with an opaque ruby/purple color, beautiful definition, and a 1996-ish personality. This deep, full-bodied, elegant yet powerful 2002 should age handsomely for over two decades. Some patience will be required since this vintage exhibits more muscle and virility than normal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.   94/100
