Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 17 Sep 21
Velvety tannins, lovely depth of flavours and blackberry fruit, bracken, brambled hedgerows, a ton of cassis puree and juice. Enjoyable, still young, love the cedar oak notes that are unveiled as it opens, along with the warm turmeric spice. Still so much tannic frame holding everything in place, this is starting to open but with plenty of life ahead. These was a big wine En Primeur and is still big shouldered. 3.65ph. The year that Roederer Estates took over, with Gildas d'Ornon as managing director and Thomas Do-Chi-Nam as technical director.

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Oct 17
One of the most pleasant and unexpected surprises in this tasting, the 2006 Pichon Lalande is gorgeous, which is something I can’t say about too many wines in a vintage marked by climatic ups and downs and irregular ripening. Dark, powerful and intense, the 2006 possesses exceptional balance. A host of black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and menthol flesh out in this decidedly somber, virile Pichon Lalande. In a vintage in which so many wines are so rustic, the 2006 Pichon Lalande is all class. This sleeper Pichon Lalande will drink well for at least the next two decades, perhaps longer.
Drinking Date: 2017 - 2037

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 17 Nov 22
The 2006 Pichon Lalande has only 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot, with no Cabernet Franc, nor Petit Verdot, in the blend. It is deep garnet-brick in color and is a little closed to start, opening out to notes of tar, unsmoked cigars, crushed rocks, and dried sage, plus subtle fruit suggestions of prunes and dried blackberries. The medium-bodied palate is firm and chewy with muscular, savory-laced black fruits and a rugged finish. It's a dense, sturdy claret, for sure, although it lacks the grace and finesse of a great Pichon Lalande.
